  A measurement of the triple-differential cross section (sigma as a function
of the photon pt and eta and the jet eta) in photon + jets final states using a
data sample from proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV is presented. This
sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 2.14 inverse femtobarns
collected by the CMS detector at the LHC. Photons and jets are reconstructed
within a pseudorapidity range of abs(eta) < 2.5, and are required to have
transverse momenta in the range 40 < pt(gamma) < 300 GeV and pt(jet) > 30 GeV,
respectively. The measurements are compared to theoretical predictions from the
SHERPA leading-order QCD Monte Carlo event generator and the
next-to-leading-order perturbative QCD calculation from JETPHOX. The
predictions are found to be consistent with the data over most of the examined
kinematic region.
