New Measurements with Photons at the Tevatron

  • 1. Baylor Univ., Waco, TX (United States)

Description

With the recent completion of Run II at the Fermilab Tevatron, the CDF and D0 experiments are publishing results based on challenging measurements that probe quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and are sensitive to next-to-leading-order (NLO) and next-to-next-to-leading-order (NNLO) effects and non-perturbative physics. A superior understanding of parton distribution functions and QCD backgrounds will improve the sensitivity of searches for new phenomena at the LHC and reduce uncertainties in a multitude of future measurements. We present three recent photon analyses from data collected at the Fermilab Tevatron: measurements of the direct photon pair production cross section at CDF and D0, measurements of azimuthal decorrelations and multiple parton interactions in γ + 2 jet and γ + 3 jet events at D0, and an observation of exclusive diphoton production at CDF.
