Scientific paper

We study the prospects for probing the quark content of the photon using b tagging at high energy electron-photon colliders. We find that heavy quark tagging provides a sensitive and effective probe of the quark content of the photon. Using a 500 GeV $e^+e^-$\ NLC in electron-photon mode, the cross section for $eb_{\gamma}\rightarrow eb$\ can be measured to 10\% with b tagging. This is sufficient to differentiate between the various photon structure functions.
