Experimental measurement: We measure the differential isolated cross section in bins of observables q i of width qi From a set of identified isolated photon candidates we estimate N, the number of signal photons or photon pairs in each bin To arrive at the true value of N in each bin:
We account for bin-to-bin migrations arising from detector resolution (unfolding factors U) We correct N for for =Trigger, reconstruction and photon identification efficiencies
Comparison with (usually parton-level) theoretical predictions: Impose a parton-level isolation Correct for effect on isolation efficiency due to underlying event and hadronisation (or assign a systematic error)
All measurements presented here were performed on the 2010 dataset with ~36 pb-1
of integrated luminosity

Opposite trends at low ET values (<~50 GeV), possible explanations?
Different regimes of xT=2pT/xT=2pT/√√s ~0.003 s ~0.003 (Tevatron)(Tevatron) ~0.0015 ~0.0015 (LHC)(LHC)
Different maximum parton-level Isolation ET : 2GeV CDF, 4-5 GeV LHC

Reasonable for such a rapid ET dependence to come from physics?

Conclusion and PerspectivesConclusion and Perspectives
Direct photon measurements at the LHC performed with the 2010 dataset corresponding to ~36 pb-1 of integrated luminosity are starting to be used to constrain gluon and gluon fusion Higgs boson production PDF uncertainties Differential cross sections, isolated inclusive photons
Measurements are already systematics-limited Data in agreement with theory predictions and Tevatron measurements except for ET <~50 GeV, where there are opposite tendencies, an open question
New ATLAS photon + jet differential cross-section measurement in three different ranges of leading-pT jet y, results consistent with inclusive measurement, agreement with theory in all -jet configurations, even those with larger fragmentation contributions. Differential cross sections, isolated inclusive diphoton pairs
Measurements consistent with those of the Tevatron experiments Becoming systematics-limited New NNLO calculation of direct contributions seems to resolve a large part of collinear-regime discrepancies, need to take into account fragmentation and HO box
Perspectives: 2011 ~5fb-1 additional, 2012 ~15fb-1 at ECM =8 TeV Possible measurements: Differential cross sections: Isolated inclusive, photon + jets, inclusive diphoton pair , diphoton + jets, photon + hf, all with additional observables. Ratios between cross-sections at ECM = 7 and 8 TeV . Reexamine coherence of parton- and reconstruction-level isolation criteria, progress with theorists in understanding of isolation/fragmentation relationship. Exploit direct measurement of background processes for H search
