The measurements cover the pseudorapidity regions |η| < 1.37 and 1.56 ≤ |η| < 2.37 in the photon transverse energy range 25 GeV < $E$$_{T}^{\gamma}$ < 1500 GeV. Results are based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.2 fb$^{−1}$, collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider in 2012. Photon candidates are identified by combining information from the ATLAS calorimeters and inner tracker. The signal yield is measured using a data-driven technique. The measured differential cross-section values are compared to leading order and nextto-leading order perturbative QCD calculations and found to be in good agreement over ten orders of magnitude. 002318410 65017 $$2SzGeCERN$$aParticle Physics - Experiment 002318410 690C_ $$aCERN 002318410 693__ $$aCERN LHC$$eATLAS 002318410 701__ $$aVachon, Brigitte$$edir.$$uMcGill U. 002318410 701__ $$aStockton, Mark$$edir.$$uMcGill U. 002318410 8564_ $$uhttps://escholarship.mcgill.ca/concern/theses/4j03d264p$$yMcGill U.
