摘要
The determination of the gluon polarization Delta G/G represents one of the main goals of the COMPASS Collaboration at CERN. This quantity is experimentally accessible by selecting photon gluon fusion (PGF) events in the scattering of a polarized 160 GeV muon beam off a polarized (6)LiD target. At COMPASS the PGF mechanism is tagged by means of three different channels: charmed meson production and high-p(T) hadron pairs in either electro-production (Q(2) > 1 GeV(2)) or quasi-real photo-production (Q(2) < 1 GeV(2)). The status of the different analyses and the Delta G/G results obtained from the 2002-04 data samples are presented. The most precise measurement comes from the hight-p(T) quasi-real photo-production, yielding a small gluon polarization.
