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

A measurement of the differential cross section for the inclusive production of isolated prompt photons in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy sqrt(s) = 7 TeV is presented. The results are based on data recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC in 2010. The measured cross section is co...

Sumario:A measurement of the differential cross section for the inclusive production of isolated prompt photons in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy sqrt(s) = 7 TeV is presented. The results are based on data recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC in 2010. The measured cross section is compared with next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations.
