Recent gluon polarization results from COMPASS

One of the main goals of the COMPASS experiment at CERN is the measurement of the gluon polarization in the nucleon, $\Delta G$, by scattering of 160 GeV/c polarized muons on a polarized $^{6}$LiD target. This quantity is experimentally accessible via the photon-gluon fusion process, tagged either b...

description One of the main goals of the COMPASS experiment at CERN is the measurement of the gluon polarization in the nucleon, $\Delta G$, by scattering of 160 GeV/c polarized muons on a polarized $^{6}$LiD target. This quantity is experimentally accessible via the photon-gluon fusion process, tagged either by charmed mesons production or by high $p_{T}$ hadron pairs production. The status of these two analyses is presented. Preliminary results obtained from the 2002/03 data samples on the $D^{0}$ and the $D^{*\pm}$ channels are shown. The high $p_{T}$ hadron pairs, produced at $Q^{2}\lessgtr$ 1 (GeV/c)$^{2}$, were also analysed, and the measured $\Delta G/G$ values are presented here.
