Examination of direct-photon and pion production in proton-nucleon collisions
Abstract
We present a study of inclusive direct-photon and pion production in hadronic interactions, focusing on a comparison of the ratio of gamma/pi0 yields with expectations from next-to-leading order perturbative QCD (NLO pQCD). We also examine the impact of a phenomenological model involving kT smearing (which approximates effects of additional soft-gluon emission) on absolute predictions for photon and pion production and their ratio.
