The production of direct photons in association with jets can be used to probe gluon parton distribution functions as well as to test perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics. This thesis presents the measurement of the triple differential cross section for photon plus jet evehts as a function of photon transverse momentum (pɣT), photon pseudorapidity (ηɣ), and jet pseudorapidity (ηjet). The measurement is made using 19.7 fb⁻¹ of data collected by the Compact Muon Solenoid detector in proton-proton collisions at the center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. The kinematic regions probed are 40 [less than] pɣT [less than] 1000 GeV, |ηɣ| [less than] 2.5 and |ηjet| [less than] 2.5. These results are compared to next-to-leading order theoretical predictions.
A Dissertation submitted to the Department of Physics in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.
