On the possibility of measuring the gluon distribution in proton with "photon+jet" events at LHC

The number of events suitable for a determination of the gluon distribution function g(x,Q^2) in a proton at the LHC for various intervals of x and Q^2 are estimated. The contributions of main background sources to ``direct photon+jet'' production processes are studied. The values of discrimination powers between quark and gluon jets as well as between a single photon and the products of pi^0, eta, K^0_s mesons decaying through the neutral channels are applied to estimate the final contributions of various event types to the "photon+jet" production in different intervals of x and Q^2. Monte Carlo events generated by help of the PYTHIA 6.1 generator are used for this analysis.

photon+jet process application for setting the absolute scale of jet energy and determining the gluon distribution at the LHC

The possibility of jet energy scale setting at the CMS calorimeter by using photon+jet process is studied. The estimation of the number of photon+jet events suitable for determination of gluon distribution inside a proton in a new kinematic region of x, Q^2 variables beyond the one covered by HERA data is also presented.

QCD

We discuss issues of QCD at the LHC including parton distributions, Monte Carlo event generators, the available next-to-leading order calculations, resummation, photon production, small x physics, double parton scattering, and backgrounds to Higgs production.
