We study the cross section for the photoproduction process $\ensuremath{\gamma}N\ensuremath{\rightarrow}hX$ where the incident photon and nucleon are longitudinally polarized and a hadron $h$ is observed at high transverse momentum. Specifically, we address the ``direct'' part of the cross section, for which the photon interacts in a pointlike way. For this …
