Measurement of the cross section for prompt isolated diphoton production in p(p)over-bar collisions at root s=1.96 TeV

Abstract

This article reports a measurement of the production cross section of prompt isolated photon pairs in proton-antiproton collisions at ffiffiffis p ¼ 1:96 TeV using the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 5:36 fb1. The cross section is presented as a function of kinematic variables sensitive to the reaction mechanisms.
