Isolated Prompt Photon Plus Jet Photoproduction at HERA

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The cross section for photoproduction of a prompt photon in association with a jet is studied in Next-to-Leading Order at the DESY epep collider HERA. The effect of various cuts imposed on the cross section by the ZEUS collaboration including isolation cuts on the photon is examined. Comparisons with the ZEUS preliminary data using various parametrizations of the photon structure function is made, and good agreement is found. The preliminary data is not yet precise enough to make a distinction between various models for the photon structure function.
