Measurement of isolated photon production in pp and PbPb collisions at root s(NN)=2.76 TeV

2012
Isolated photon production is measured in proton-proton and lead-lead collisions at nucleon-nucleoncentre-of-mass energies of 2.76 TeV in the pseudorapidityrange vertical bareta vertical bar< 1.44 and transverse energies E-T between 20 and 80 GeV with the CMS detector at the LHC. The measured ET spectra are found to be in good agreement with next-to-leading-order perturbative QCDpredictions. The ratio of PbPb to pp isolated photon E-T-differential yields, scaled by the number of incoherent nucleon-nucleoncollisions, is consistent with unity for all PbPb reaction centralities.
