Photon-jet correlations in hadronic collisions

Abstract

We compare results of $k_t$-factorization approach and next-to-leading order collinear-factorization approach for photon-jet correlations in $pp$ and $p\bar{p}$ collisions at RHIC, Tevatron and LHC energies. We discuss correlations in azimuthal angle as well as in two-dimensional space of transverse momenta of photon and jet. Different unintegrated parton distributions (UPDF) are included in the $k_t$-factorization approach. The results depend on UPDFs used. The results of NLO collinear-factorization are shown for comparison.
