  3. COMPASS setup Kinematic coverage From 2006: larger acceptance (new target solenoid). Also 3-cell target. PANIC'08

  4. ΔG/G(x) determined from Photon-Gluon Fusion events N 1. Open charm cross section difference in charmed meson production scale set by (2mc)2  small background experimentally difficult 2. High-pThadron pairs cross section difference in 2-hadron production scale set by Q2 > 1GeV2 (this talk) or pt2 (quasi-real photoproduction) large statistics large background  analysis is MC dependent Analysing power Gluon polarization COMPASS analysis in LO PANIC'08

  5. ΔG/G(x) from open charm events Charmed meson reconstruction • 60 cm thick 6LiD target cells  no charm decay vertex reconstruction, • only invariant mass used, • K/π identification in RICH important, • cuts on D0 decay angle and zD. Use D* tagging;  cut on PANIC'08

  9. ΔG/G(x) from high-pt events Data selection • Cuts on inclusive variables (x): • Q2 >1 GeV2, • 0.1 < y < 0.9. • Cuts on hadronic variables: • 2 charged hadrons required • pt1,2 > 0.7 GeV, • xF1,2 >0, z1,2 >0, z1 + z2 <0.95, • m2h1,h2 > 1.5 GeV2. • ~500k events after selection. (x): COMPASS results from quasi-real photoproduction 2002-2003 data have been published in PLB 633 (2006) 25-32. PANIC'08

  10. ΔG/G(x) from high-pt events QCD- Compton LO DIS N Determination of ΔG/G The analysis is done in LO (NLO partially taken by using parton shower in MC), resolved photon neglected. Usemeasured asymmetries: ALL2hand ALLinc; they have different contributions from 3 processes: PGF + + PANIC'08

  11. ΔG/G(x) from high-pt events Determination of ΔG/G Event weighting • For each event we determine: • weight w = f D Pμβ, • Acorr.  f, D and Pμare obtained from the data. All R (fractions of processes), aLL ( analysing powers), xCand xgare obtained from inclusive and high-ptMonte Carlo (LEPTO with MRST2004LO and JETSET fragmentation).  It is important to have good agreement between data and MC.

  17. SUMMARY and PROSPECTS • New, preliminary results from open charm and high-pt events • indicate ΔG/G  0 for xg  0.1. • Prospects for new results from open charm events: • - include data from 2007, • - do NLO analysis. • Prospects for new results from high-pt events: • - include data from 2006 and 2007, • - use one high-pt hadron, • - determine ΔG/G in 2-3 bins of xg.
