Event Structure in the Production of High Mass Photon Pairs

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The event structure associated with the production of massive photon pairs is studied to O(α2/alphas){\cal O}(\alpha^2/alpha_s). The cross sections for two photon and two photon plus one jet events are given. The Dalitz plot structure of events with two photons and a jet is also presented. These distributions will provide checks on our understanding of the production mechanisms for massive photon pairs, a signal thought to be important for searches for the Higgs boson in the intermediate mass region.
