Abstract
We present cross sections for the reactions pp¯→Hγ and pp→Hγ arising from the subprocess qq¯→Hγ. The calculation includes the complete one-loop contribution from all light quarks as well as the tree contributions from the light quarks and c and b quarks. These are the main sources of Higgs-photon associated production at hadron colliders. At Fermilab Tevatron energies, the cross section is typically between 0.1 fb and 1.0 fb for 80GeV<~mH<~160GeV, while at CERN LHC energies it exceeds about 2.0 fb over the same range of mH. While substantial, these cross sections are not large enough to produce a signal which is discernable above the backgrounds from qq¯→bb¯γ and gg→bb¯γ.
