Measurement of the Isolated Prompt Photon Production Cross Section in $pp$ Collisions at $\sqrt{s}~=~7$~TeV

The differential cross section for the inclusive production of isolated prompt photons has been measured as a function of the photon transverse energy $E_\mathrm{T}^{\gamma}$ in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$~TeV using data recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC. The data sample corresponds to an...

description The differential cross section for the inclusive production of isolated prompt photons has been measured as a function of the photon transverse energy $E_\mathrm{T}^{\gamma}$ in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$~TeV using data recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 2.9~pb$^{-1}$. Photons are required to have a pseudorapidity $\mid\eta^{\gamma}\mid<1.45$ and $E_\mathrm{T}^{\gamma}>21$~GeV, covering the kinematic region $0.006 < x_\mathrm{T} < 0.086$. The measured cross section is found to be in agreement with next-to-leading-order perturbative QCD calculations.
