Three-photon productions within the $$k_t$$ k t -factorization at the LHC

Abstract Recently, the ATLAS data of isolated three-photon production showed that the next-to-leading order (NLO) collinear factorization is not enough to describe experimental data. Therefore, one needs to calculate the cross section beyond the NLO, and as showed later, these data can be well descr...
