Dijet event rates in deep inelastic scattering at Hera

Di-jet event rates have been measured for deep-inelastic scattering in the kinematic domain \(5 \lesssim Q^2 \lesssim 100\) GeV\(^2\) and \(10^{-4} \lesssim x_{Bj} \lesssim 10^{-2}\), and for jet transverse momenta squared \(p_t^{*2}\gtrsim Q^2\). The analysis is based on data collected with the H1 detector at HERA in 1994 corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 2 pb\(^{-1}\). Jets are defined using a cone algorithm in the photon-proton centre of mass system requiring jet transverse momenta of at least 5 GeV. The di-jet event rates are shown as a function of \(Q^2\) and \(x_{Bj}\). Leading order models of point-like interacting photons fail to describe the data. Models which add resolved interacting photons or which implement the colour dipole model give a good description of the di-jet event rate. This is also the case for next-to-leading order calculations including contributions from direct and resolved photons.
