We have computed the cross section and distributions for the production of two photons and a jet via the process g\stackrel\ensuremath→g\ensuremathγ\ensuremathγg. In the standard model, this process occurs at the one-loop level through pentagon and box diagrams. We show that at the CERN LHC this is a significant mechanism for the production of the two photons and a jet. This process is also an important background to the Higgs boson production, when the Higgs boson decays into two photons. We also explore this process at the Fermilab Tevatron.
