Abstract

We report on a comparison of isolated hard photon production in hadronic Z decays with the predictions of a next-to-leading order matrix-element calculation. We constrain the quark electroweak couplings to the Z boson with a simultaneous fit to three direct photon distributions, and combine this result with an independent constraint from our measurement of the total hadronic width of the Z, obtaining cu = 0.92 ± 0.22 and cd = 1.63 ± 0.15 where cu,d = 4(g-2V + g-A)u,d. Our results are consistent with standard model predictions.
