Abstract

The number of photon+jet and Z+jet events suitable for a determination of gluon distribution function in a proton at Tevatron Run II and during the low luminosity runs at future LHC experiments are estimated for various intervals of x and Q². These numbers allow to extract gluon distribution in new kinematic regions of 2 * 10^-3 < x < 1.0 with 1.6*10³ < Q² < 2*10⁴ \~(GeV/c)² at Tevatron and of 2* 10^-4 < x < 1.0 with 1.6*10³ < Q² < 2*10⁵ ~(GeV/c)² at LHC. The contributions of background events in different Q² intervals are also given.
