An important goal of the COMPASS experiment is the study of semi-inclusive polarised muon scattering from a polarised target. The identification of the hadrons will allow, for the first time, a direct measurement of the gluon polarisation AG/G from the cross-section asymmetry of open charm productio

The recently approved COMPASS experiment attempts a measurement of the gluon polarization around r/\_\_ 0.1 with a precision of 5(Ag/g) ,,o 0.1. The experiment uses open charm muo-production and large PT ha&on pairs to tag the photon-gluon fusion process. COMPASS will also cover a rich spin-physics
Determining of the gluon polarisation in the nucleon, by measurement of the double spin asymmetry of the photon-gluon fusion process is the main goal of the COMPASS experiment at CERN. Experiment uses 160 GeV polarized muon beam and polarised 6 LiD target. Photon-gluon fusion events are selected usi
