The cross sections for isolated and non-isolated prompt photon production with unpolarized hadron beams are studied at order $\alpha\alpha_s^2$. Two methods of performing the calculations are compared. One uses purely analytic techniques…
We perform a detailed study of the production of isolated prompt photons in polarized hadronic collisions, in the centre-of-mass energy range relevant to RHIC. We compare the results obtained for a traditional cone-isolation prescription,…
We consider the production of isolated prompt photons in hadronic collisions. We present a general discussion in QCD perturbation theory of the isolation criterion used by hadron collider experiments. The isolation criterion is implemented…
We calculate $O(\alpha_s)$ corrections to inclusive and isolated double prompt photon production, both for the unpolarized case, and for longitudinal polarization of the incoming hadrons. The calculation is performed using purely analytical…
After a short discussion on the definition of isolated-photon cross sections in perturbative QCD, I present phenomenological predictions relevant for polarized hadron-hadron collisions in the RHIC energy range. The possibility of measuring…
Measurements of differential cross sections are presented for inclusive isolated-photon production in $pp$ collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV provided by the LHC and using 139 fb$^{-1}$ of data recorded by the ATLAS experiment.…
Isolated photons at hadron colliders are defined by permitting only a limited amount of hadronic energy inside a fixed-size cone around the candidate photon direction. This isolation criterion admits contributions from collinear photon…
I present a definition of the cross section for the production of an isolated photon plus $n$ jets which only depends upon direct photon production, and it is independent of the parton-to-photon fragmentation contribution. This…
The production of a hard and isolated photon accompanied by one or two jets in large-Q2 deep inelastic ep scattering is calculated at next-to-leading order. We include consistently contributions from quark-to-photon fragmentation and study…
We compute the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the polarized (and unpolarized) cross sections for the production of a hadron accompanied by an opposite-side prompt photon. This process, being studied at RHIC, permits us to…
I study the production of prompt photons in polarized hadronic collisions, considering different isolation prescriptions. In particular, I focus on the problem of the measurability of the polarized gluon density in the proton through…
Results of a next-to-leading order calculation of the inclusive cross section for a photon and a heavy quark (charm or bottom), $p \bar p / pp \to \gamma +Q +X$, are presented. Pointlike photon subprocesses through ${\cal…
I illustrate how to define an isolated-photon cross section which is independent of the parton-to-photon fragmentation contribution, it is infrared safe to all orders in perturbative QCD, and it is exclusive in the kinematical variables of…
In this paper we present the measurement of the integrated and differential production cross sections of pairs of prompt isolated photons in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV with the Compact Muon Sollenoid (CMS)…
We report on a next-to-leading order QCD calculation of the cross section and the spin asymmetry for isolated large-p_T prompt photon production in collisions of transversely polarized protons. Corresponding measurements may be used at RHIC…
Isolated photon production at hadron colliders proceeds via direct production and fragmentation processes. Theory predictions for the isolated photon and photon-plus-jet cross section often impose idealised photon isolation criteria,…
The integrated and differential cross sections for the production of pairs of isolated photons is measured in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC. A data sample corresponding to an…
We study the expectations for prompt photon production rates at HERA in a fully consistent next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD analysis, taking into account the effects of experimental isolation requirements. In particular we examine the…
A phenomenological study of the isolated photon production in high energy $pp$ and $pA$ collisions at RHIC and LHC energies is performed. Using the color dipole approach we investigate the production cross section differential in the…
We provide complete analytic expressions for the isolated prompt photon production cross section in $e^+e^-$ annihilation reactions through one-loop order in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) perturbation theory. Functional dependences on the…
