Abstract
The COMPASS experiment is a fixed target high-energy physics experiment that has been collecting data for 20 years (2002 to 2022) at the M2 beamline (SPS, North Area) at CERN. One of the goals of the experiment’s broad physics program was to perform semi-inclusive measurements of target-spin dependent asymmetries in (di-)hadron production in deep inelastic scattering (DIS) with high-energy muons scattering off polarized nucleons. The latest COMPASS semi-inclusive DIS measurements were performed in 2022 using a transversely polarized $^6$LiD target and a 160 GeV/c muon beam. The first results from approximately two-thirds of the new data exhibit total uncertainties that are up to a factor of three smaller than those observed in previous deuteron measurements. These results serve to balance the existing data collected with transversely polarized proton targets, which is of particular importance in constraining the d-quark transversity and Sivers functions.
