Abstract
COMPASS experiment at CERN had a wide physics programme.
Its cornerstone were studies of hadron production in deep inelastic scattering (DIS), which can be interpreted in the transverse-momentum-depend (TMD) factorisation framework, allowing to access the distributions of polarisation and transverse momentum of quarks within the nucleon in the language of TMD PDFs, and the hadronisation in terms of TMD fragmentation functions.
The data collected with a liquid hydrogen target in 2016-2017 will soon bring new information on the transverse momentum and may allow for the first time to extract the transverse polarisation of quarks within an unpolarised nucleon described by the Boer-Mulders function.
The unique data collected with a transversely polarised deuteron target have already improved the knowledge of the d-quark transversity (transverse counterpart of the helicity PDF), reducing the uncertainties by a factor of 2.5 at large Bjorken x, and are yet to yield a number of interesting results.
