11 Prompt Photons Ingredients to measure the cross section:
Nyield: events after background subtraction U: Unfolding coefficients - evaluated using Pythia - bin-by-bin unfolding - inversion + regularization Bayes or SVD - ~1 (good resolution) ΔETΥ : ET bin size ε: efficiencies trigger reconstruction ID reconstructed, isolated and ID photons 45 GeV: ~85% barrel ~75% end-cap ~90-97% reconstructed & isolated photons May 7, 2012 Pheno 2012, R.

15 Photon+jet Photons produced with jets
3 jet rapidity regions as a function of Etγ Fiducial/reconstruction requirements Jet Algorithm: anti-kT, R=0.4 Jet: pT>25 GeV, |y|>4.4 photon: ET>25 GeV, |η|>1.37 separated by ΔR > 1.0 Direction of photons/jets ηγ yjet ≥ or < 0 Different composition of fragmentation component May 7, 2012 Pheno 2012, R. Caputo Arxiv: , Accepted PRD

16 Photon+jet Fair agreement:
same sign Theoretical Predictions: Systematics from scale, PDF, Isolation, hadronization and underlying event correction. opposite sign Fair agreement: Data consistently lower than prediction in low Etγ region hint for need of NNLO (consistent with prompt photon results) May 7, 2012 Pheno 2012, R.

22 The PHOX Family What it does Pros Warnings
NLO FORTRAN codes allowing users to compute single and double inclusive large pT cross sections for reactions involving photons, hadrons and jets. DIPHOX, JETPHOX, EPHOX and TWINPHOX MRST99, MRST01, CTEQ5 and CTEQ6 PDFs for the proton photo-production programs also include the AFG and the new AFB04 PDFs for the photon. option to link any parton distribution from the PDFLIB is also provided. production of massive heavy quarks is not described by these codes in which a massless approximation is used Pros flexible and allows the users to impose almost any experimental cuts, jet definitions, cross section definition via a histogram package Warnings The production of massive heavy quarks is not described by these codes in which a massless approximation is used Not full event generators: do not provide a full, exclusive portrait of events which could for example be further processed through a detector simulation PHOX codes are not designed to be interfaced with parton showers and hadronisation models.
