@article{10902/28861, year = {2013}, url = {https://hdl.handle.net/10902/28861}, abstract = {We report on a measurement of the cross section for direct-photon production in association with a heavy quark using the full data set of √s=1.96  TeV proton-antiproton collisions corresponding to 9.1  fb−1 of integrated luminosity collected by the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. The measurements are performed as a function of the photon transverse momentum, covering a photon transverse momentum between 30 and 300 GeV, photon rapidities |yγ|<1.0, a heavy-quark-jet transverse momentum pjetT>20  GeV, and jet rapidities |yjet|<1.5. The results are compared with several theoretical predictions.}, organization = {We are grateful to A. V. Lipatov, M. A. Malyshev, N. P. Zotov, F. Siegert, T. P. Stavreva, and J. F. Owens for providing theoretical predictions and for many useful discussions. We thank the Fermilab staff and the technical staffs of the participating institutions for their vital contributions.
