Description

The associated production of a direct photon with a heavy quark provides us with the opportunity to test for and constrain the presence of intrinsic charm and bottom in the nucleon. We present comparisons of the theoretical predictions for this process with the initial measurements from D0 and CDF, as well as with the recently updated D0 measurements. Future predictions and possibilities for measurement of the process at the LHC and the potential for constraining the heavy quark patron distributions there are presented.
