At hadron colliders the $\gamma\gamma+jet$ channel provides larger signal-to-background ratio in comparison with inclusive $\gamma\gamma$ channel in hunting for scalars uncharged under the SM gauge group. At NLO in QCD perturbation theory we evaluate selfconsistently the signal significance for the SM Higgs boson production in $\gamma\gamma+jet$ channel at LHC. Three-body final state kinematics allows for refined cuts. The adjustment of these cuts increases the signal significance upto the level of inclusive channel. Applying a justified simple rescaling procedure to the results obtained for SM Higgs boson, we estimate the LHC prospects in searches for radion and sgoldstino in $\gamma\gamma+jet$ channel. We have found that this channel is comparable with $\gamma\gamma$ channel in searches for new physics and deserves further detailed investigations.
