Recent results from COMPASS spin program

摘要

COMPASS is a fixed target experiment at CERN's Super-Proton-Synchrotron. Part of its physics program is dedicated to the spin structure of the nucleon, which it studies with a polarized muon beam and polarized targets. An overview of its recent results along this line is given. In particular, the first results of our 2011 longitudinally polarized proton run, a report on our progress towards the extraction of the gluon polarization, ΔG, at NLO and an update on our measurements of transverse spin and k_T-dependent processes, from our 2010 transversely polarized proton data, and of hadron multiplicities.
