A systematic study of the inclusive photon cross-section in p-p collisions is presented. The dependence of the γ rates on the renormalization and factorization scales is discussed. A comparison is made with experimental data for centre-of-mass energies ranging from 23 GeV to 1.8 TeV. Predictions of the cross-sections are given for two different sets of structure functions for RHIC and LHC energies.

We investigate the rapidity and transverse momentum distributions of the prompt photon production at the LHC energies considering the color dipole approach. We compare the predictions from distinct models for the dipole cross section, where parton saturation models at high energies are expected to be important at the forward rapidities in [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] collisions at the LHC.

AbstractA study on the prompt photon production within the QCD color dipole picture with emphasis in pp and pA collisions at the LHC energy regimes is performed. We present predictions for the differential cross section as a function of photon transverse momentum at different rapidity bins considering updated phenomenological color dipole models, which take into account the QCD gluon saturation physics. The results are directly compared to the recent experimental measurements provided by CMS and ATLAS Collaborations, showing a reasonable agreement in all rapidity bins with no free parameters. Special attention is given to the IPSAT model given its good description of the data in all rapidity bins from low- to high-$$p_{T}$$ p T ranges. As a result, a free-parameter approach has succeeded in describing the LHC data for prompt photon production, while new predictions for the 13-TeV data is presented in view of new data to confirm such prospect.
