Description
COMPASS is a fixed-target experiment in operation at the CERN North Area (SPS, M2 beam-line) since 2002. An important part of the broad physics programme of the experiment is dedicated to the exploration of the transverse spin-structure of the nucleon, studying target transverse spin (in)dependent azimuthal asymmetries arising in the Drell-Yan cross-section.
In 2015 and 2018, COMPASS performed two years of Drell-Yan data taking, using a 190 GeV/$c$ $\pi^-$ beam impinging on a transversely polarized NH$_3$ target.
In this talk, recent Drell-Yan results from COMPASS will be presented along with prospects for ongoing studies.
