Transverse target spin asymmetries in exclusive $\rho^0$ muoproduction

COMPASS has studied exclusive production of 0 mesons using a 160 GeV/ c muon beam and a transversely polarised NH 3 target. Five single-spin and three double-spin azimuthal aymmetries were measured in dependence on Q 2 , x Bj ,or p 2 T . Except the sin S asymmetry, obtained to be − 0.019 ± 0.008(...

Sumario:COMPASS has studied exclusive production of 0 mesons using a 160 GeV/ c muon beam and a transversely polarised NH 3 target. Five single-spin and three double-spin azimuthal aymmetries were measured in dependence on Q 2 , x Bj ,or p 2 T . Except the sin S asymmetry, obtained to be − 0.019 ± 0.008( stat .) ± 0.003( syst .), all others were found to be consistent with zero within experimental uncertainties. Phenomenological GPD-based model calculations agree well with the data and interpret the result as evidence for the existence of chiral-odd, transverse generalised parton distribution
