dc.description.abstract	A measurement of the cross section for the inclusive production of isolated prompt photons in $pp$ collisions at a center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s} = 7\TeV$ is presented. The measurement covers the pseudorapidity ranges $\|\eta^\gamma\|<1.37$ and $1.52\leq\|\eta^\gamma\|<2.37$, in the transverse energy range $100\leq\ET^{\gamma}<1000 \GeV$. The results are based on an integrated luminosity of 4.6~\ifb\ collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The results are compared with next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations with CT10 and MSTW2008NLO PDFs, as well as two leading order Monte Carlo PYTHIA and HERWIG.	en_US
