Description

We present measurements of the differential cross sections for the production of photon pairs and for the production of b-jets in association with photons in ppbar collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV using data recorded with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 8.7 fb-1. Results are compared with the prediction of NLO QCD calculations and with the predictions of Monte Carlo event generators.
