Title
-----
The Lead Jet Pseudorapidity Distribution of Direct Photon Events in
pbar-p Collisions at sqrt{s} = 1.8 TeV 

Abstract
--------
The lead jet pseudorapidity distribution in direct photon events
probes the kinematic region of Bjorken x between 0.015 and 0.15 and
discriminates among parton distributions.  Direct photon production
directly probes the gluon distribution through the leading order
Quantum Chromodynamics Compton process.  The data are from pbar-p
collisions at a total center-of-mass energy of 1.8 TeV recorded with
the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) in the 1992-1993 run.
