Photon Physics at the LHC A Measurement of Inclusive Isolated Prompt Photon Production at √s = 7 TeV with the ATLAS Detector /

This thesis reports on the first studies of Standard Model photon production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) using the ATLAS detector.  Standard Model photon production is a large background in the search for Higgs bosons decaying into photon pairs, and is thus critical to understand.  The thesis...
