Prompt-photon production in DIS
نویسنده
چکیده
In the study of high energy collisions involving hadrons, events in which isolated high-energy photons (often referred to as prompt photons if originating from quarks) are observed provide a direct probe of the underlying parton process, since the emission of these photons is unaffected by parton hadronisation. Isolated high-energy photon production has been studied in hadronic collisions[2] and ep collisions in both the photoproduction [3] and deep inelastic scattering (DIS) [4] regimes. The present results are compared to theoretical predictions and also to Monte Carlo (MC) models .

متن کاملInclusive Prompt Photon Production in Polarized pp Collisions at HERA
We present a NLO study of inclusive polarized prompt photon production in a conceivable fixed target pp mode of HERA with longitudinally polarized protons at √ s = 39 GeV. We analyze the sensitivity of the corresponding double spin asymmetry to the proton’s polarized gluon distribution ∆g and estimate the expected statistical precision in its determination. The main theoretical uncertainties in...

We describe the foreseen spin physics of the polarized proton-proton collider at RHIC. The study of the spin structure of the nucleon at RHIC is unique and complementary to the traditional polarized DIS experiments. The sensitivities of the gluon polarization measurement via prompt photon production and anti-quark polarization measurement using W production with the PHENIX detector system are r...
