Description

Measurement of the inclusive photon production performed by the ATLAS collaboration using 4.6 fb-1 of sqrt(s)=7 TeV collision data is reported. Comparisons to the data of next-to-leading order QCD calculations MCFM and JetPhox with different PDFs are presented. The theoretical uncertainties, including scale, strong coupling, and PDF uncertainties are evaluated. The compatibility between data and theory is assessed by χ2 evaluation, taking into account the correlations between systematic uncertainties. The cross sections for photons produced in association with jets are also measured by the ATLAS collaboration at sqrt(s)=7 TeV as functions of photon and jet kinematics and are compared to next-to-leading-order QCD calculations.
