photon+jet process application for setting the absolute scale of jet energy and determining the gluon distribution at the LHC

arXiv:hep-ex/0207034

Abstract

The possibility of jet energy scale setting at the CMS calorimeter by using photon+jet process is studied. The estimation of the number of photon+jet events suitable for determination of gluon distribution inside a proton in a new kinematic region of x, Q^2 variables beyond the one covered by HERA data is also presented.
