“…[25,26] for previous studies) and showed that collider isolated photon data was in reasonable agreement with the theoretical predictions. Indeed, as discussed in detail in [27], by (i) increasing the √ s from fixed-target to collider energies, and by (ii) requiring the photon to be isolated from any hadronic activity within a given distance around its direction, one is left with an isolated-photon sample dominated by energy scales away from non-perturbative effects (such as intrinsic-k T broadening [28]), and where the uncertain contribution from photons issuing from the collinear fragmentation of final-state partons [29] are significantly reduced. Figure 1 shows the relative contribution of the three leading diagrams -direct Compton, direct quark-antiquark annihilation, and fragmentation -for inclusive (left) and for isolated (right) photon production in proton-antiproton (p-p) at Tevatron (top) and in proton-proton (p-p) collisions at the nominal LHC energy (bottom).…”
