Description
COMPASS is a fixed target high energy physics experiment located at the M2 beamline (SPS, North Area) at CERN. It is the longest-running CERN experiment (2002-2022), with a unique and diverse physics programme focused on nucleon structure and spectroscopy measurements.
Experimental results obtained by COMPASS during phase-I (2002-2011) and phase-II (2012-2022) for a broad spectrum of nucleon spin structure-related DIS and Drell-Yan measurements play an essential role in the general understanding of the three-dimensional nature of the nucleon. In 2022, the experiment performed its last highly successful data-taking dedicated to the study of the d-quark transversity PDF and other transverse spin phenomena in semi-inclusive DIS measurements with a 160 GeV/c muon beam and a transversely polarized deuteron target.
This talk will review selected highlights from the COMPASS legacy on nucleon spin structure studies and address recent results and prospects
