Production of pairs of isolated photons in association with jets in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV

The differential cross sections for the production of a photon pair in association with jets are measured using a sample of pp collisions collected by the CMS experiment in 2011 at $\sqrt{s}=7$~TeV, and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.0~$\text{fb}^{-1}$.

Sumario:The differential cross sections for the production of a photon pair in association with jets are measured using a sample of pp collisions collected by the CMS experiment in 2011 at $\sqrt{s}=7$~TeV, and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.0~$\text{fb}^{-1}$. A template fit to the photon isolation distribution is used to statistically evaluate the fraction of prompt diphoton events in data. Several differential observables are studied with inclusive 1-jet and 2-jet selections. Results are compared to QCD theoretical predictions at leading and next-to-leading order.
