Photon Analysis Techniques at CDF and Latest Results 
--
The upcoming start of LHC program at CERN promises spectacular 
signatures from physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). Many 
of these signatures could lead to interesting events with photons 
in the final state, including Light SM Higgs, Extra Dimensions, 
GMSB SUSY, Invisible Higgs, Hidden Valley. A photon is a simple 
object to reconstruct, but physics with photons is hard because 
all other particles (jets, electrons, muons, taus, cosmic and 
beam muons) produce signatures in the detector that can be easily 
mistaken as photons. I will show techniques that we use at CDF to 
identify and reconstruct photons. I will also show the most recent 
and interesting results from CDF with photons in the final state.
