We study the possibility to analyse the data on inclusive prompt photon production at first LHC runs in the framework of the k(T)-factorization QCD approach. Our consideration is based on the amplitude for the production of a single photon associated with a quark pair in the fusion of two off-shell gluons. The quark component is taken into account separately using the quark-gluon Compton scattering and quark-antiquark annihilation QCD subprocesses. The unintegrated parton densities in a proton are determined using the Kimber-Martin-Ryskin (KMR) prescription as well as the CCFM evolution equation. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
