Abstract

We study the possibility to analyse the data on inclusive prompt photon production at first LHC runs in the framework of the kT-factorization QCD approach. Our consideration is based on the amplitude for the production of a single photon associated with a quark pair in the fusion of two off-shell gluons. The quark component is taken into account separately using the quark–gluon Compton scattering and quark–antiquark annihilation QCD subprocesses. The unintegrated parton densities in a proton are determined using the Kimber–Martin–Ryskin (KMR) prescription as well as the CCFM evolution equation.
