New COMPASS results on $\Delta G/G$ using $D^{0}$ production asymmetries

One of the main goals of the COMPASS experiment is the measurement of the gluon contribution to the nucleon spin. Among the processes studied by COMPASS, the Open-Charm $D^{0}$ meson production is the cleanest channel for the gluon polarisation estimation. The experimental spin asymmetry for these o...

description One of the main goals of the COMPASS experiment is the measurement of the gluon contribution to the nucleon spin. Among the processes studied by COMPASS, the Open-Charm $D^{0}$ meson production is the cleanest channel for the gluon polarisation estimation. The experimental spin asymmetry for these open-charm events was measured after an efficient removal of the combinatorial background using a method based on a Neural Network approach. The gluon polarisation was then estimated through the relation between this asymmetry and the analysing power (asymmetry at the partonic level) for the polarised "photon-gluon fusion" process, in a LO QCD approximation. A new D0 decay mode was considered ($D^{0} \rightarrow K \pi\pi\pi$ ), together with a first analysis of the COMPASS proton data ($NH_{3}$ target), producing a new result with an improved precision. This value includes all COMPASS data and it is shown here for the first time.
