New measurements at a centre-of-mass energy root s similar or equal to 183
GeV of the hadronic photon structure function F-2(gamma)(x) in the Q(2) int
erval, 9 GeV2 less than or equal to Q(2) less than or equal to 30 GeV2, are
presented. The data, collected in 1997 with the L3 detector, correspond to
an integrated luminosity of 51.9 pb(-1). Combining with the data taken at
a centre-of-mass energy of 91 GeV, the evolution of F-2(gamma) With Q(2) is
measured in the Q(2) range from 1.2 GeV2 to 30 GeV2. F-2(gamma) shows a li
near growth with ln Q(2); the value of the slope alpha(-1)d F-2(gamma)(Q(2)
)/dlnQ(2) is measured in two x bins from 0.01 to 0.2 and is somewhat higher
than predicted. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights res
