Constraints on ∆ G from Prompt Photon plus Jet Production at HERA
نویسنده
چکیده
The utility of prompt photon plus associated jet production for constraining the size and shape of the polarized gluon density of the proton ∆G is examined at √ S = 40 GeV, appropriate for the proposed HERA-N polarized p p collider experiment. The calculation is performed at next-to-leading order (O(αα 2 s)) in QCD. The reliability of the predictions are examined in some detail.

Hard Photoproduction at HERA
In view of possible photoproduction studies in ultraperipheral heavy-ion collisions at the LHC, we briefly review the present theoretical understanding of photons and hard photoproduction processes at HERA, discussing the production of jets, light and heavy hadrons, quarkonia, and prompt photons. We address in particular the extraction of the strong coupling constant from photon structure funct...
متن کاملPrompt Photon Plus Jet Photoproduction at HERA at Next-to-Leading Order in QCD
The cross section for photoproduction of an isolated prompt photon in association with a jet is studied in Next-to-Leading Order. The kinematics are those appropriate for the DESY ep collider HERA. The effects on the cross section of various experimental cuts including isolation cuts on the photon is examined. Comparisons with the ZEUS preliminary data using two parametrizations of the photon s...

Recent results on the Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) and prompt photon productions from H1 and ZEUS experiments on the ep collider HERA are presented. A new DVCS cross section measurements of the H1 Collaboration, for photon virtualities Q > 4 GeV and photon-proton c.m.s. energy 30 < W < 140 GeV, are discussed and compared to NLO QCD calculations encoding Generalized Parton Distributi...

We study the expectations for prompt photon production rates at HERA in a fully consistent next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD analysis, taking into account the effects of experimental isolation requirements. In particular we examine the sensitivity of the isolated cross section to the photon's gluon content. The utility of hadronic large-p T prompt photon production for providing constraints on th...
متن کاملExperimental Particle Physics Group Jets and Prompt Photons in Photoproduction at Zeus
In the ZEUS experiment at HERA, photoproduction processes have been studied for photon-proton centre-of-mass energies in the range 100 < Wp < 300 GeV and jet transverse energies extending to E jet T 70 GeV. The data contribute to our understanding of QCD dynamics, and also provide new constraints on the photon's parton density.
