\midheading{$\gamma\gamma+$jet production, process 286}
|
|
|
|
Process {\tt 286}, corresponding to the production of a pair of real photons in association with a jet, can be computed at NLO.
|
|
Since this process includes two real photons, the cross section diverges
|
|
when one of the photons is very soft or in the direction of the beam.
|
|
Thus in order to produce sensible results, the input file must supply values for both
|
|
{\tt gammptmin} and {\tt gammrapmax}. This will ensure that
|
|
the cross section is well-defined.
|
|
|
|
The calculation of process {\tt 286} may be performed at NLO using either the
|
|
Frixione algorithm~\cite{Frixione:1998jh} or standard cone isolation. This process also includes
|
|
the one-loop gluon-gluon contribution as given in
|
|
ref.~\cite{Bern:2002jx}. The production of a photon via parton fragmentation is included at NLO and
|
|
can be run separately by using the {\tt frag} option in {\tt part}. This option includes the contributions from the
|
|
integrated
|
|
photon dipole subtraction terms and the LO QCD matrix element multiplied by the fragmentation function.
|
|
|
|
The phase space cuts for the final state photons are defined in {\tt{input.ini}}, for multiple photon processes such
|
|
as {\tt 285 - 287} the $p_T$'s of the individual photons (hardest, second hardest and third hardest or softer) can be
|
|
controlled independently.
|
|
The remaining cuts on $R_{\gamma j}$, $\eta_{\gamma}$ etc. are applied universally to all photons. Users wishing to
|
|
alter
|
|
this feature should edit the file {\tt{photon\_cuts.f}} in the directory {\tt{src/User}}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The calculation is described in Ref.~\cite{Campbell:2014yka}.
