The longitudinal double spin asymmetry A1ρ for exclusive leptoproduction of ρ0 mesons, μ+N→μ+N+ρ, is studied using the COMPASS 2002 and 2003 data. The measured reaction is incoherent exclusive ρ0 ...production on polarised deuterons. The Q2 and x dependence of A1ρ is presented in a wide kinematical range, 3×10-3<Q2< 7 (GeV/c)2 and 5×10-5<x<0.05. The results presented are the first measurements of A1ρ at small Q2 (Q2< 0.1 (GeV/c)2) and small x (x<3×10-3). The asymmetry is in general compatible with zero in the whole kinematical range.
The measurements of the Collins and Sivers asymmetries of identified hadrons produced in deep-inelastic scattering of 160 GeV/c muons on a transversely polarised 6LiD target at COMPASS are presented. ...The results for charged pions and charged and neutral kaons correspond to all data available, which were collected from 2002 to 2004. For all final state particles both the Collins and Sivers asymmetries turn out to be small, compatible with zero within the statistical errors, in line with the previously published results for not identified charged hadrons, and with the expected cancellation between the u- and d-quark contributions.
