Measurement of isolated photon production in deep inelastic ep scattering

Isolated photon production in deep inelastic ep scattering has been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 320 pb−1 . Measurements were made in the isolated-photon transverse-energy and pseudorapidity ranges 45 GeV . Differential cross sections are presented for inclusive isolated photon production as functions of Q2 , x , ETγ and ηγ . Leading-logarithm parton-shower Monte Carlo simulations and perturbative QCD predictions give a reasonable description of the data over most of the kinematic range.
