Description

Using data from HERA, the ZEUS collaboration present measurements of the diffractive production of isolated ("prompt") photons in photoproduction, with and without a jet. First cross sections are evaluated for centrally produced photons with jets as a function of the photon and jet transverse energy and pseudorapidity, and also for the fraction of incoming photon energy imparted to the photon-jet system. Comparison is made to predictions from RAPGAP.
