Direct photons at ATLAS

Direct photon studies provide an ideal arena for testing predictions of perturbative QCD and to constrain the gluon parton density function, particularly at large x. In addition, direct photon processes represent an important contribution in estimating the background to other physics processes and p...

description Direct photon studies provide an ideal arena for testing predictions of perturbative QCD and to constrain the gluon parton density function, particularly at large x. In addition, direct photon processes represent an important contribution in estimating the background to other physics processes and provide important calibration methods for hadronic jets. The motivation for direct photon studies at ATLAS will be discussed together with photon identification techniques.
