Prompt Photons in Photoproduction at HERA
نویسنده
چکیده
The production of prompt photons in photoproduction reactions in the ZEUS experiment is discussed. Cross sections for inclusive prompt photons and for prompt photons accompanied by jets are compared with theory, and the latter are used to determine the effective transverse momentum of the quarks in the proton.

Hard Photoproduction at HERA
In view of possible photoproduction studies in ultraperipheral heavy-ion collisions at the LHC, we briefly review the present theoretical understanding of photons and hard photoproduction processes at HERA, discussing the production of jets, light and heavy hadrons, quarkonia, and prompt photons. We address in particular the extraction of the strong coupling constant from photon structure funct...
متن کاملPrompt photons with associated jets in photoproduction at HERA
Prompt photons, together with an accompanying jet, have been studied in the photoproduction regime of ep scattering with the ZEUS detector at HERA. Predictions based on leading-logarithm parton-shower Monte Carlo models and next-to-leadingorder (NLO) QCD underestimate the γ+jet cross sections for transverse energies of prompt photons below 7 GeV, while the kT -factorisation QCD calculation agre...
متن کاملPhotoproduction of Isolated Photons, Single Hadrons and Jets at Nlo
The photoproduction of large-pT charged hadrons and of prompt photons is discussed, for the inclusive case and with an associated jet, using predictions from the NLO partonic Monte Carlo program EPHOX. Comparisons to recent HERA data are also shown.
متن کاملPrompt photon processes in photoproduction at HERA
We present results for the photoproduction of inclusive prompt photons and for prompt photons accompanied by jets, measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA. Cross sections as a function of pseudorapidity and transverse energy are presented for 5 < E T < 10 GeV, E jet T > 5 GeV in the centre of mass energy range 120–270 GeV. Comparisons are made with predictions from leading logarithm parton show...
