Hard Exclusive $\rho^0$-Meson Production at COMPASS

New results for the transverse target spin azimuthal asymmetry A_{UT}^{sin(\phi-\phi_S)} for hard exclusive \rho^0-meson production on a transversely polarised ^6LiD and NH_3 target will be presented. The measurement was performed with the COMPASS detector using the 160 GeV/c muon beam of the SPS at...

Sumario:New results for the transverse target spin azimuthal asymmetry A_{UT}^{sin(\phi-\phi_S)} for hard exclusive \rho^0-meson production on a transversely polarised ^6LiD and NH_3 target will be presented. The measurement was performed with the COMPASS detector using the 160 GeV/c muon beam of the SPS at CERN. The asymmetry is sensitive to the nucleon helicity-flip generalised parton distribution E, which is related to the orbital angular momentum of quarks in the nucleon.
