Photon Fragmentation in Large-Q2 ep Collisions at Next-to-Leading Order QCD
Abstract
We study the production of photons accompanied by jets in large-Q2 deep inelastic scattering. Numerical results for the cross section differential with respect to the fraction of momentum zgamma carried by a photon inside a jet at large zgamma, up to O(alpha alphas) in perturbative QCD, are presented. The sensitivity to the fragmentation contribution allows one to study the quark-to-photon fragmentation function. Our results can be confronted with future experimental data from HERA.
