Description

The COMPASS collaboration has recently released results of the gluon contribution to the Sivers effect measurement from high-pt hadron pairs both for proton and deuteron targets. The analysis method is based on the assumption that in the high Q2 range three processes contribute to the cross section: Leading Process, QCD Compton and Photon Gluon Fusion. The selection of high-pt hadron pairs enhances the fraction of PGF events in the sample and assures weak kinematic dependence of the asymmetries for each process. A novel approach of event-by-event weighting based on Monte Carlo simulations and with the use of Neural Networks is applied to extract all three asymmetries from the same data sample.
