We apply the frozen-correlation approximation (FCA) to analyze double ionization of helium by energetic highly charged ions. In this model the double ionization amplitude is represented in terms of single ionization amplitudes, which we evaluate within the continuum distorted wave-eikonal initial state (CDW-EIS) approach. Correlation effects are incorporated in the initial and final states, but are neglected during the time the collision process takes place. We implement the FCA using the Monte Carlo event generator technique, which allows us to generate theoretical event files and to compare theory and experiment using the same analysis tools. The comparison with previous theoretical …

The differential cross section for the inclusive production of isolated prompt photons has been measured as a function of the photon transverse energy E T in pp collisions at ffiffi s p ¼ 7 TeV using data recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 2:9 pb 1. Photons are required to have a pseudorapidity j j < 1:45 and E T > 21 GeV, covering the kinematic region 0:006 < xT < 0:086. The measured cross section is found to be in agreement with nextto-leading-order perturbative QCD calculations.
