P. Oberson et al., COMPARISON OF DIRECT GAMMA PRODUCTION IN (P)OVER-BAR-P AND PP REACTIONS AND DETERMINATION OF LAMBDA(4)(MS)UNDER-BAR AND THE GLUON STRUCTURE-FUNCTION, Physics of atomic nuclei, 57(9), 1994, pp. 1624-1627
Direct photons were studied in both ppBAR and pp interactions at squar
e-root s = 24.3 GeV in the transverse momentum range 4.1 - 6.1 GeV/c (
0.34 < x(T) < 0.5) for the rapidity range -0.2 - 1.0. The experiment w
as performed using an internal hydrogen jet target in the CERN SppSBAR
collider. Preliminary cross sections in ppBAR and pp are presented. T
he cross-section difference sigma(ppBAR --> gammaX) - sigma(pp --> gam
maX) has been measured and is compared to theoretical predictions. A p
reliminary determination of LAMBDA(4)/MS and of the gluon structure fu
nction is obtained.
