Observation of isolated high E(t) photons in photoproduction at HERA
Events containing an isolated prompt photon with high transverse energy,
together with a balancing jet, have been observed for the first time in
photoproduction at HERA.The data were taken with the ZEUS detector, in a
centre of mass energy range 120--250 GeV. The fraction of the
incoming photon energy participating in the production of the prompt photon and
the jet, , shows a strong peak near unity, consistent with LO QCD
Monte Carlo predictions. In the transverse energy and pseudorapidity range
5\le \eTg < 10 GeV, , \eTj\ge 5 GeV, and
, with \xgO > 0.8, the measured cross section is
, in good agreement with a recent NLO calculation.Comment: 22 pages including 8 figure
