Abstract
A study of prompt photon plus associated jet production is performed a t next-to-leading order [O(alpha alpha(s)(2))] in QCD at root S = 200- 500 GeV, appropriate for the BNL RHIC polarized (p) over right arrow ( p) over right arrow collider experiment. Momentum correlations between the jet and photon are examined and the utility of the process as a m ethod for constraining the size and shape of the polarized gluon densi ty of the proton Delta G is examined.
