Direct Photon production at the LHC

Measurement of the direct photon cross section at the LHC providesnot only an important test of perturbative QCD predictions, but alsoprovides sensitivity to the gluon content of the proton, which may beused to constrain the parton distribution functions. Results from the ATLAS and CMS experiments...

Results from the ATLAS and CMS experiments on this measurement are presented along with comparisons to leading order parton shower Monte Carlo models and next-to-leading-order calculations.
