Photon and Pion Production at High $p_T$

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We present a study of high-pTp_T photon and pion production in hadronic interactions, focusing on a comparison of the yields with expectations from next-to-leading order perturbative QCD (NLO pQCD). We examine the impact of phenomenological models of kTk_T smearing (which approximate effects of additional soft-gluon emission) on absolute predictions for photon and pion production and their ratio.
