Run details:
- ppbar collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 1960$ GeV. Requires gamma + jet (q,qbar,g) hard processes, which for Pythia 6 means MSEL=10 for with MSUB indices 14, 18, 29, 114, 115 enabled.
Measurement of differential cross section for inclusive production of isolated photons in p pbar collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 1.96$ TeV with the D\O detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The photons span transverse momenta 23--300 GeV and have pseudorapidity $|\eta| < 0.9$. Isolated direct photons are probes of pQCD via the annihilation ($q \bar{q} -> \gamma g$) and quark-gluon Compton scattering ($q g -> \gamma q$) processes, the latter of which is also sensitive to the gluon PDF. The initial state radiation / resummation formalisms are sensitive to the resulting photon pT spectrum
