Isolated Photon Cross Section inpp¯Collisions ats=1.8

Abstract: We report a new measurement of the cross section for the production of isolated photons with transverse energies ( E(gamma)(T)) above 10 GeV and pseudorapidities |eta|<2.5 in p&pmacr; collisions at sqrt[s] = 1.8 TeV. The results are based on a data sample of 107.6 pb(-1) recorded during 1992-1995 with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The background, predominantly from jets which fragment to neutral mesons, was estimated using the longitudinal shower shape of photon candidates in the calorimet… Show more

“…The possibility that parton showering and hadronization may influence the power index n is revealed by the measurements of the transverse differential cross section of hadron and photon jets for pp collisions at Fermilab by the CDF and D0 collaborations [49][50][51][52][53]. In these measurements, the power indices n are found to be close to n=4-5 (see Fig.…”

“…The experimental measurements cover a large domain of center-of-mass energy and also a wide range of photon transverse energy . The prompt photon production cross section at the LHC [11][12][13][14][15][16] has a significantly higher magnitude when compared to the Tevatron [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. It is also much larger than the photoproduction cross section at HERA [42][43][44].…”

“…From past to present, prompt photon production at hadron colliders has undergone very impressive experimental [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] and theoretical developments. The experimental measurements cover a large domain of center-of-mass energy and also a wide range of photon transverse energy .…”

“…• the energy scale of the jets was varied by ±1.5% for jets with E jet T > 10 GeV, ±2.5% for jets with E jet T in the range [6,10] GeV and ±4% for jets with E jet T < 6 GeV. The uncertainty was typically ±7%;…”

“…Their production probes the underlying partonic process and can provide information on the structure of the proton. Processes of this type have been studied in a number of fixed-target and hadron-collider experiments [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. The production of isolated photons in photoproduction, where the incoming photon is quasi-real, was previously studied at HERA by the ZEUS and H1 collaborations [11][12][13][14][15].…”
