The COMPASS future: COMPASS II
نویسنده
چکیده
Up to now the COMPASS experiment [1] contributed with the muon beam to precise measurements of the nucleon longitudinal momentum structure. A more complete nucleon description beyond collinear approximation includes the quark intrinsic momentum distributions which are described by the Transverse Momentum Dependent (TMD) Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) and by Generalised Parton Distributions (GPDs). The next phase COMPASS II [2] approved in December 2010 focuses on GPDs measurements through Deep Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) and Deep Virtual Meson Production (DVMP), in TMDs with Drell-Yan process and on Primakoff measurements. The latter shed light on the hadron structure through the hadron deformation in an external electromagnetic field described by the polarisabilities.

Polarized Drell-Yan at COMPASS-II: Transverse Spin Physics Program
Successful realization of polarized Drell-Yan physics program is one of the main goals of the second stage of the COMPASS experiment. Drell-Yan measurements with high energy (190 GeV/c) pion beam and transversely polarized NH3 target have been initiated by a pilot-run in the October 2014 and will be followed by 140 days of data taking in 2015. In the past twelve years COMPASS experiment perform...
متن کاملExclusive meson production at COMPASS
In this paper we summarize recent measurements of exclusive meson production performed by the COMPASS Collaboration. In particular, recent results on the transverse target spin asymmetries for exclusive ρ0 production are presented. Some of these asymmetries are sensitive to the GPDs E, which are related to the orbital angular momentum of quarks. Other asymmetries are sensitive to the chiral-odd...
متن کاملPerformance evaluation of gated volumetric modulated arc therapy
Background: Aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of the gated volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT/RapidArc) using 2D planar dosimetry, DynaLog files and COMPASS 3D dosimetry system. Materials and Methods: Pre-treatment quality assurance of 10 gated VMAT plans was verified using 2D array and COMPASS 3D dosimetry system. Advantage of COMPASS over 2D planar is that it provides the clin...
متن کاملExclusively Produced Ρ 0 Asymmetries on the Deuteron and Future Gpd Measurements at Compass
Generalized parton distributions (GPDs) provide a new and powerful framework for a complete description of the nucleon structure. They can provide a three-dimensional picture of how the quarks and gluons form a nucleon. GPDs can be probed experimentally in hard exclusive meson production or deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS). The COMPASS experiment at CERN is a unique place to study these...
متن کاملThe requirements for COMPASS and Paf1 in transcriptional silencing and methylation of histone H3 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
The Set1-containing complex, COMPASS, methylates histone H3 on lysine 4 (K4) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Despite the preferential association of K4-trimethylated H3 with regions of the genome that are transcribed by RNA polymerase II, transcriptional silencing is one of the few cases in S. cerevisiae where histone-methylation defects have a clear effect on gene expression. To better understand...
