Description

A new COMPASS value of $\Delta G/G$, obtained from high transverse momentum hadrons pairs in the $Q^{2}>1$ (GeV/$c$)$^{2}$ region is presented. The statistical error of $\Delta G/G$ ($\approx 0.094$) is reduced by a factor 3 in comparison to the previous analysis in the same kinematic region. The new measurement is based on a neural network approach using weighted events. In addition the formula used for the extraction of $\Delta G/G$ has been updated and the contributions coming from the leading order or the QCD Compton processes are no longer neglected. Finally the results obtained for the $Q^{2}<1$ (GeV/$c$)$^{2}$ region are also presented.
