✦ Synopsis

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 program in polarized DIS.

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

We propose to use MICROMEGAS, a new gaseous detector, in the tracking system of the COMPASS experiment. COMPASS will make use of the high energy (200 GeV) and high intensity (10% -1) muon beam at CERN. MICROMEGAS chambers are good candidates for the tracking of leptons and hadrons in areas of ~ 0.2

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

The COMPASS spectrometer was designed for the NA58 fixed-target experiment at the CERN SPS. The physics aim is the study of the spin structure of the nucleon and the spectroscopy of hadrons with muon and hadron beams.

COMPASS has measured the incoherent exclusive electroproduction of ρ 0 over a wide Q 2 range and at < W >= 10 GeV. Spin density matrix elements were extracted from the angular distribution. Preliminary results of the analysis of the data taken in 2002 presented here are consistent with a substantial
