Measurement of the inclusive isolated photon production cross section in [Formula omitted] collisions at [Formula omitted] TeV

The production cross section of inclusive isolated photons has been measured by the ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC in pp collisions at a centre-of-momentum energy of [Formula omitted] 7 TeV. The measurement is performed with the electromagnetic calorimeter EMCal and the central tracking detectors, covering a range of [Formula omitted] in pseudorapidity and a transverse momentum range of [Formula omitted]. The result extends the [Formula omitted] coverage of previously published results of the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the same collision energy to smaller [Formula omitted]. The measurement is compared to next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations and to the results from the ATLAS and CMS experiments. All measurements and theory predictions are in agreement with each other.
