ATLAS Measurements of Isolated Photon Cross-Sections

A measurement of the cross section for the inclusive production of isolated prompt photons in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy $sqrt{s}=7$~TeV is presented, as well as a measurement of di-photon production. Photon candidates are identified by combining information from the calorimeters and f...

description A measurement of the cross section for the inclusive production of isolated prompt photons in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy $sqrt{s}=7$~TeV is presented, as well as a measurement of di-photon production. Photon candidates are identified by combining information from the calorimeters and from the inner tracker. Residual background in the selected sample is estimated from data based on the observed distribution of the transverse isolation energy in a narrow cone around the photon candidate. The results are compared to predictions from next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations.
