Abstract. Scaling of single photon production in pp and $p\overline{p}$ collisions is studied. It is empirically observed that the available data scales $\sim s^{1/2}/p_{\mathrm{T}}^5$ for $x_{\mathrm{T}}=2p_{\mathrm{T}}/s^{1/2} \leq 0.1$ and $\sim (s^{1/2})^{3.3}/p_{\mathrm{T}}^9$ for larger $x_{\mathrm{T}}$ . The NLO pQCD predictions for pp collisions at an $s^{1/2}$ of 200 and 5500 GeV, relevant for RHIC and LHC energies are seen to closely follow this scaling behavior. Implications for single photon production in heavy ion collisions are discussed.
