Abstract

Jet production in $\gamma \gamma$ collisions have been studied with a jet-cone algorithm using a 233 $pb^{-1}$ data taken by the TOPAZ detector at the TRISTAN $e^+e^-$ collider. The transverse momentum dependence of the jet-cross section as well as accompanying activities in the small-angle region show the direct evidence for the resolved photon processes. We also present some properties of the two-jet sample with the emphasis on their correlation with the remnant-jet activity.
