Results on longitudinal spin physics at COMPASS

The COMPASS experiment at the CERN SPS has taken data on deep inelastic scattering of polarised muons on a polarised NH$_{3}$ target in 2007 and 2011 and on a polarised LiD target in 2002-2004 and 2006. The new results on the longitudinal double spin asymmetry $A_{1}^{p}$ and the spin-dependent stru...

Sumario:The COMPASS experiment at the CERN SPS has taken data on deep inelastic scattering of polarised muons on a polarised NH$_{3}$ target in 2007 and 2011 and on a polarised LiD target in 2002-2004 and 2006. The new results on the longitudinal double spin asymmetry $A_{1}^{p}$ and the spin-dependent structure function $g_{1}^{p}$ obtained from the 2011 data set are presented. These results are used in a NLO QCD fit to the world data to obtain the polarised parton distributions. Also an update of the results on the Bjorken sum rule, connecting the integral of the non-singlet spin-dependent structure function with the ratio of the weak coupling constants, will be given. Direct access to the gluon polarisation is possible via the photon gluon fusion process in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering. This process is studied using the $p_{T}$ dependence of charged hadron asymmetries. The latest results indicate a positive gluon polarisation in the kinematic region of COMPASS
