Photon radiation at large transverse momenta at colliders is a detailed probe
of hard interaction dynamics. The isolated photon production cross section in
deep inelastic scattering was measured recently by the ZEUS experiment, and
found to be considerably larger than theoretical predictions obtained with
widely used event generators. To investigate this discrepancy, we perform a
dedicated parton-level calculation of this observable, including contributions
from fragmentation and large-angle radiation. Our results are in good agreement
with all aspects of the experimental measurement.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
