Description

First measurements of the differential cross sections d3σ/(dpTγdyγdyjet) for the inclusive production of a photon in association with a heavy quark (b, c) jet are presented, covering photon transverse momenta 3015 GeV. The results are based on an integrated luminosity of 1 fb-1 in pp collisions at √(s)=1.96 TeV recorded with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The results are compared with next-to-leading order perturbative QCD predictions.
