Constraining unintegrated gluon distributions from inclusive photon production in proton–proton collisions at the LHC

We compute the leading order (LO) qg→qγ and next-to-leading order (NLO) gg→qq¯γ contributions to inclusive photon production in proton–proton (p+p) collisions at the LHC. These channels provide the dominant contribution at LO and NLO for photon transverse momenta kγ⊥ corresponding to momentum fracti...
