The cross sections are measured as functions of the photon transverse energy in different regions of photon pseudorapidity. The photons are required to be isolated by means of a fixed-cone method with two different cone radii, 0.2 and 0.4. The dependence of the inclusive-photon production on the photon isolation is investigated by measuring the fiducial cross sections as functions of the isolation-cone radius and the ratios of the differential cross sections with different radii in different regions of photon pseudorapidity. The measurements presented here, with a more granular segmentation in photon pseudorapidity leading to a more detailed experimental input to fits of the proton parton distribution functions and with different isolation radii, constitute an improvement with respect to those published by ATLAS earlier. These improvements provide a more in-depth test of the theoretical predictions. Next-to-leading-order QCD predictions from JETPHOX and SHERPA and next-to-next-to-leading-order QCD predictions from NNLOJET are compared to the measurements, using several parameterisations of the proton parton distribution functions. The measured cross sections are well described by the fixed-order QCD predictions within the experimental and theoretical uncertainties in most of the investigated phase-space region. 002835957 594__ $$aCONF 002835957 595__ $$aCERN CDS-Invenio WebSubmit 002835957 6531_ $$9CERN$$aphotons, QCD, isolation 002835957 65017 $$2SzGeCERN$$aParticle Physics - Experiment 002835957 65027 $$2SzGeCERN$$aConference talks on ATLAS 002835957 690C_ $$aCERN 002835957 690C_ $$aINTNOTE 002835957 690C_ $$aPRIVATLAS 002835957 690C_ $$aINTNOTEATLASPUBL 002835957 693__ $$aCERN LHC$$eATLAS 002835957 710__ $$5PH-EP 002835957 710__ $$gATLAS Collaboration 002835957 78502 $$isuperseded by$$rCERN-EP-2022-247$$w2848074 002835957 859__ [email protected] 002835957 859__ [email protected] 002835957 859__ [email protected] 002835957 8564_ $$uhttps://cds.cern.ch/record/2834592$$yOriginal Communication (restricted to ATLAS) 002835957 8564_ $$82399304$$s1851485$$uhttps://cds.cern.ch/record/2835957/files/ATLAS-CONF-2022-065.pdf$$zStamped by WebSubmit: 06/10/2022 002835957 916__ $$sn$$w202270 002835957 960__ $$a91 002835957 963__ $$aPUBLIC 002835957 962__ $$b2809139$$kATLAS-CONF-2022-065$$ncorigliano calabro20220924 002835957 970__ $$a000777125CER 002835957 980__ $$aINTNOTEATLASPUBL 002835957 980__ $$aNote
