Selected figures

Figure 1:. Gamma candidate pt distributions for a three different data samples:

  • pp2006 - STAR 2006 pp longitudinal data (~ 3.164 pb^1) after applying gamma-jet isolation cuts.
  • gamma-jet - Pythia gamma-jet sample (~170K events). Partonic pt range 5-35 GeV.
  • QCD jets - Pythia QCD jets sample (~4M events). Partonic pt range 3-65 GeV.

Note: Same algorithm has been used to analyse Monte-Carlo and real data events
