Sensitivity of the LHC isolated-γ + jet data to the parton distribution functions of the proton

We study the impact of differential isolated-photon+jet cross sections measured in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of √s= 7TeV on the parton distribution functions (PDF) of the proton. Next-to-leading-order perturbative QCD (pQCD) calculations complemented with the NNPDF2.1 parto...
