On the possibility of measuring the gluon distribution in proton with “ \(\gamma + \text{jet}\) ” events at LHC

The numbers of “ \(\gamma + {\mathrm {jet}}\)” events suitable for the determination of the gluon distribution function fpg(x,Q2) in a proton at the LHC for various intervals of x and Q2 are estimated. The contributions of background events of different sources are studied and estimated in the consi...

Summary:The numbers of “ \(\gamma + {\mathrm {jet}}\)” events suitable for the determination of the gluon distribution function fpg(x,Q2) in a proton at the LHC for various intervals of x and Q2 are estimated. The contributions of background events of different sources are studied and estimated in the considered intervals of x and Q2. The PYTHIA event generator was used to produce physical events for this analysis.
