Ratio of the Isolated Photon Cross Sections at \sqrt{s} = 630 and 1800 GeV

Abstract

The inclusive cross section for production of isolated photons has been measured in \pbarp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=630$ GeV with the \D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The photons span a transverse energy ($E_T$) range from 7-49 GeV and have pseudorapidity $|\eta |<2.5$. This measurement is combined with to previous \D0 result at $\sqrt{s}=1800$ GeV to form a ratio of the cross sections. Comparison of next-to-leading order QCD with the measured cross section at 630 GeV and ratio of cross sections show satisfactory agreement in most of the $E_T$ range.
