Photon-tagged correlations in heavy-ion collisions: kinematic requirements and a case study

Abstract
Photon-tagged correlations may be useful to determine how the dense partonic medium produced in heavy-ion collisions affects the fragmentation of high-energy quarks and gluons into a leading hadron. In these proceedings, I discuss the kinematic requirements for the hadron and the prompt photon transverse momentum cuts. A case study at LHC energy, tagging on p_T > 20 GeV and p_T > 50 GeV photons, is then briefly examined.
