quarksgluons orb. mom. Nucleon spin puzzle Angular momentum sum rule: ½= ½ΔΣ + ΔG + Lq + Lg • Measurement of ΔG is important for two reasons: • - as an element of nucleon spin puzzle (a0(= ΔΣ) is measured to be around 0.25 instead of expected 0.6) • possible role of axial anomaly in the a0 interpretation (a0≠ ΔΣ) a0 = Gluon polarization measurement at COMPASS

Open charm golden channel, weak MC dependense small statistics, no vertex detector → no primary/secondary vertex separation Gluon polarization measurement at COMPASS
Open charm • Aexpdetermined from counting rate asymmetry • no asymmetrycontribution from background • PGF/tot = S/(S+B) determined from the fit • MC is needed for aLL calculation aLL parametrised by pT, zD, y parametrization determined with Neural Net (NN) NN trained with AROMA good description of data Gluon polarization measurement at COMPASS
