Measurement of inclusive prompt photon photoproduction at HERA.

Journal Article · · Phys. Lett. B
First inclusive measurements of isolated prompt photons in photoproduction at the HERA ep collider have been made with the ZEUS detector, using an integrated luminosity of 38.4 pb-1. Cross sections are given as a function of the pseudorapidity and the transverse energy ({eta}{sup {gamma}}, E{sub T}{sup {gamma}}) of the photon, for E{sub T}{sup {gamma}}>5 GeV in the {gamma}p centre-of-mass energy range 134-285 GeV. Comparisons are made with predictions from Monte Carlo models having leading-logarithm parton showers, and with next-to-leading-order QCD calculations, using currently available parameterisations of the photon structure. For forward {eta}{sup {gamma}} (proton direction) good agreement is found, but in the rear direction all predictions fall below the data.
