Measurement of isolated photon production in deep inelastic scattering at HERA

2007
Results are presented on the production of isolated photons ep → e + γ + X in deep inelastic scattering with a four-momentum transfer squared of 4 < Q 2 < 150 GeV 2 , inelasticity y > 0.05 and a mass of the hadronic system WX > 50 GeV. Isolated photons are selected in the range 3 < E γ T < 10 GeV and pseudorapidity range −1.2 < η γ < 1.8. The cross sections, both inclusive and for events with zero or at least one additional jet, are measured with the H1 detector at the electron-proton collider
