Abstract
We study the photoproduction of an isolated photon and a jet
based on a code of partonic event generator type which includes
the full set of next-to-leading order corrections.
We compare our results to a recent ZEUS analysis
in which an effective
kT of the incoming partons
has been determined. We find that no
additional intrinsic
kT is needed to describe
the data.
