Single photon data in pp interactions (UA6) are in agreement with the next-to- leading order QCD calculations using a "soft" gluon structure function (Duke- Owens set I). Similar conclusions have been reached in pp, rr-p, IT+p rr+p collisions by NA24 and WA70, excluding the Duke-owens Duke-Dwens set 11 II structure structure functions. functions. The WA70 and NA24 experiments have observed a 6 standard deviation and a 2.5 standard deviation signal, respectively, for the production of rr-p~11X rr-p~llX at high Pr* PT' The measured cross-sections agree with Bll QCD predictions. The WA70 experiment measures an effective a consistent with the optimized aa of the s 5 s 5 single photon QCD perturbative theory using scale optimization. REFERENCES [1] P.
