description This note describes in detail the first study of direct photon production at CMS. Event simulation and methods of reducing the background to the direct photon signal are presented. This work demonstrates that this process may be used to distinguish between different parameterisations of the gluon distribution. The sensitivity is such that a few days of data taking at low luminosity will be sufficient for this type of analysis at CMS.
