  1. Gluon polarization measurement atCOMPASS O.Kouznetsov (JINR) on behalf of the COMPASS Collaboration on behalf of the COMPASS Collaboration ICHEP06, Moscow 26.07-02.08 2006 Gluon polarization measurement at COMPASS

  2. 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

COmmon Muon and Proton Apparatus forStructure andSpectroscopy 160 GeV polarizedbeam, 6LiD polarized target two stage spectrometer SAS & LAS (~50 m) Hcals, Ecals, RICH for particle ID, walls LHC SPS CERN (France) N CERN (Suisse) In 2002, 2003, 2004 COMPASS has recorded 30×109 events ~ 1000 TB Gluon polarization measurement at COMPASS

  4. N Photon Gluon Fusion (PGF) Open Charm → clean channel; → but experimentally difficult; →perturbative scale fixed by the mass of the charm quarks High-pT Hadron Pairs → easy to get a statistics; → but physical background; →perturbative scale fixed by pT or Q2 cuts Gluon polarization measurement at COMPASS

  5. Asymmetry measurement two oppositely polarized 60 cm long target cells: upstream (u), downstream (d) cells polarization reversal every 8 hours counting rate asymmetry in two target cells gives the cross-section asymmetry A|| upstream downstream target polarisation PT≈ 0.50dilution factor f ≈ 0.40beam polarisation PB ≈ 0.76depolarisation factor D ≈ 0.60 Gluon polarization measurement at COMPASS

  6. Open charm golden channel, weak MC dependense small statistics, no vertex detector → no primary/secondary vertex separation Gluon polarization measurement at COMPASS

  7. 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

  11. high pT hadron pairs Q2>1 GeV2 • cut on xB < 0.05 → A1d ≈ 0 → LO & QCD-C can be neglected • but they are still important for PGF event fraction estimation Gluon polarization measurement at COMPASS
