“…On the other hand, asymmetries measured by COMPASS using higher energy muons on a deuteron target are consistent with zero [115]. As illustrated in figures 17 and 21, the non-zero results for the proton are now firmly established by recent more precise preliminary data [108], while the most recent results for the deuteron remain consistent with zero [109]. For the proton target, the Collins azimuthal amplitude for π + is clearly positive and non-zero, while it is negative and at least as large for π − .…”

The proton is a composite object with spin one-half, understood to contain highly relativistic spin one-half quarks exchanging spin-one gluons, each possibly with significant orbital angular momenta. While their fundamental interactions are well described by quantum chromodynamics (QCD), our standard theory of the strong interaction, non-perturbative calculations of the internal structure of the proton based directly on QCD are beginning to provide reliable results. Most of our present knowledge of the structure of the proton is based on experimental measurements interpreted within the rich framework of QCD. An area presently attracting intense interest, both experimental and theoretical, is the relationship between the spin of the proton and the spins and orbital angular momenta of its constituents. While remarkable progress has been made, especially in the last decade, the discovery and investigation of new concepts have revealed that much more remains to be learned. This progress is reviewed and an outlook for the future is offered.

“…In the large x region common to both experiments, the measurements are in good agreement, a non obvious result due to the different kinematic range covered: in the last x bins, the COMPASS Q 2 is larger of a factor 2-3 wrt HERMES one. All the asymmetries measured by COMPASS on deuteron [5,6] are found to be compatible with zero, also for kaons. This result is interpreted as a cancellation between the u and d quark contribution in an isoscalar target.…”

Abstract. COMPASS is a fixed target experiment at the CERN SPS M2 beam line, taking data since year 2002. Part of the physics programme is dedicated to the study of the transverse spin and transverse momentum structure of the nucleon, by means of semi-inclusive deeply inelastic lepton scattering (SIDIS). For these measurements, data have been collected using transversely polarised proton (NH 3 ) and deuteron ( 6 LiD) targets. A selection of the results on the azimuthal asymmetries measured is presented, with particular focus on the most recent measurements from the data collected in 2007 and 2010 with the proton target. These results exhibit clear signals for the Collins asymmetry, interpreted as a convolution of a non-zero transversity PDF and Collins fragmentation function, and for the Sivers asymmetry which is related to the Sivers function, the most famous and discussed of the TMD PDFs. The data collected with the 6 LiD target, have also been recently analysed to search for the azimuthal modulations in the production of hadrons which are expected to be present in the unpolarised part of the SIDIS cross-section. The azimuthal hadron asymmetries, which are related to the Boer-Mulders TMD PDF, show strong and somewhat puzzling kinematical dependencies.

“…the Sivers effect. The Sivers effect has been measured by three different collaborations: HERMES at DESY [30], COMPASS at CERN [31], and Hall A at Jefferson Lab [32]. Several parametrizations have been figured out to extract the x dependence of the Sivers function from these data.…”

Abstract. We illustrate the need and the advantages of a multi-dimensional exploration of the structure of the nucleon, and in general of hadrons. We introduce new appropriate tools like the Transverse Momentum Distributions (TMDs), which enable us to explore in momentum space the dynamics of partons beyond the usual collinear approximation adopted in the QCD analysis of hard processes. We briefly touch upon the possible breaking of universality for a specific category of TMDs; as an example, we describe the Sivers effect as a fundamental test of our understanding of the color force in QCD. We introduce also the Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs), which give us a multidimensional picture of partons inside hadrons in configuration space. We emphasize the nontrivial relation between TMDs and GPDs, which are not one the Fourier transformed of the other. We describe the possibility of using these tools to address the (orbital) angular momentum of partons, and we highlight the latest results on the long standing problem of the nucleon spin sum rule. We conclude by briefly mentioning exciting developments from upcoming experiments and from projects on a longer time range.
