Nucleon Spin And Structure Studies With COMPASS

The COMPASS experiment at CERN investigates nucleon structure and spectroscopy with high-intensity muon and hadron beams. Between 2002 and 2004 COMPASS has mainly concentrated on the spin structure of the nucleon via deep-inelastic scattering of polarized muons on polarized nucleons. First results include measurements of the gluon contribution to the nucleon spin via charm production and high-$p_{t}$ pairs, A polarization, vector-meson production, Collins and Sivers asymmetries, inclusive and semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering asymmetries and a search for pentaquark states. A short overview of these results is presented.
