Measurement of the photon+b-jet production differential cross section in pp¯ collisions at s=1.96 TeV
We present measurements of the differential cross section d sigma/dp(T)(gamma) for the inclusive production of a photon in association with a b-quark jet for photons with rapidities vertical bar y(gamma)vertical bar 15 GeV and rapidity vertical bar Y-jet vertical bar ) Collider at root s = 1.96 TeV. The measured cross sections are compared with next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations using different sets of parton distribution functions as well as to predictions based on the k(T)-factorization QCD approach, and those from the SHERPA and PYTHIA Monte Carlo event generators.
Measurement of the differential γ+c-jet cross section and the ratio of differential γ+c and γ+b cross sections in pp¯ collisions at s=1.96 TeV
We present measurements of the differential cross section $d\sigma/dp_{T}^{\gamma}$ for the associated production of a $c$-quark jet and an isolated photon with rapidity $|y^{\gamma}| 15$ GeV. The cross section ratios $\sigma(\gamma+c)/\sigma(\gamma+b)$ as a function of $p_{T}^{\gamma}$ are also presented. The results are based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 8.7 fb$^{-1}$ recorded with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron $p\bar{p}$ Collider at $\sqrt{s}=$1.96 TeV. The obtained results are compared to next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations using various parton distribution functions, to predictions based on the $k_{T}$-factorization approach, and to pr…
