CERN-LHC data measuring the inclusive isolated prompt photon cross section from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. The dataset defines a fiducial region with photon transverse energy between 25 and 1500 GeV across specific pseudorapidity intervals. It was produced by author G. Aad using the ATLAS detector.
Use Cases
- Testing predictions of quantum chromodynamics based on prompt photon production.
- Constraining parton distribution functions based on measured cross sections.
- Calibrating Monte Carlo event generators for photon isolation criteria.
- Analyzing photon isolation energy within a DeltaR-cone of 0.4.
Strengths
- Defines a precise fiducial region with photon transverse energy from 25 to 1500 GeV.
- Specifies four distinct pseudorapidity intervals for photon measurement.
- Provides explicit photon isolation criteria at both particle and parton levels.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
