Description

Isolated-photon+jet production in ep collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 318 GeV has been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of up to 300 pb-1. Measurements of prompt-photon+jet cross sections are presented as functions of the photon transverse energy and pseudorapidity in a wide range of exchanged-photon virtuality. In addition, differential gamma+jet cross sections are presented as functions of the jet transverse energy and pseudorapidity. Leading-logarithm parton-shower Monte Carlo predictions and perturbative QCD calculations were compared to the data. Isolated-photon production in photoproduction, both inclusive and together with a jet, has been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of $370\, \mathrm{pb}^{-1}$. Measurements were made in the isolated-photon transverse-energy and pseudorapidity ranges $6 < E_T^{\gamma} < 15\,\mathrm{GeV}$ and $-0.7 < \eta^{\gamma} < 0.9$, and for jet transverse-energy and pseudorapidity ranges $4 < \ETjet < 35\,\mathrm{GeV}$ and $-1.5 < \etajet < 1.8$, for exchanged photon virtualities $Q^2 < 1.\mathrm{GeV}^2$. Differential cross sections are presented for inclusive isolated photon production as functions of the transverse momentum and pseudorapidity of the photon and the jet. Higher-order theoretical calculations are compared to the results.
