Online analysis during the 2016 COMPASS data taking

The COMPASS experiment is one of the few experiments in the world capable of studying the internal structure of protons with high precision. In 2016 the experiment will use the 160 GeV high energy positive and negative muon beams and a new liquid-hydrogen target. One of the main goals is the study of the virtual Compton scattering on the proton when a high energy muon scatters on a proton to produce a single photon. The analysis of the cross section and angular distributions will provide a 3 dimensional structure of the proton by determining the correlations between position and momentum of the elementary quarks and gluons inside the proton. The COMPASS experiment comprises a high resolution forward spectrometer with many trackers for charged particles, detectors for particle identification as three electromagnetic calorimeters and a recoil proton detector around the target.
