Abstract

We have measured inelastic Compton scattering of 21-GeV bremsstrahlung photons on protons, for

p_{T}

above 1 GeV/c. The yield of photons after subtracting

π^{0}

and

η

decay contributions appears to be nonhadronic and is greater than parton-model predictions for integer-charged partons. The constituent-interchange model provides a possible explanation.
