چکیده
The nucleon spin structure is studied at COMPASS via the measurement of the spin dependent properties of deep inelastic muon-deuteron scattering. Both inclusive and semi-inclusive observables are investigated, with the emphasis put on the latter. This allows to access, in particular, the gluon polarization (∆G/G) and the flavor decomposition of the quark helicity distributions. Results from measurements with longitudinal target polarization are presented, as well as uncertainties expected from the first 3 years of data taking.

Performance evaluation of gated volumetric modulated arc therapy
Background: Aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of the gated volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT/RapidArc) using 2D planar dosimetry, DynaLog files and COMPASS 3D dosimetry system. Materials and Methods: Pre-treatment quality assurance of 10 gated VMAT plans was verified using 2D array and COMPASS 3D dosimetry system. Advantage of COMPASS over 2D planar is that it provides the clin...
متن کاملColor Transparency at COMPASS 1 — Feasibility Study —
We examine the potential of the COMPASS experiment at CERN to study color transparency via exclusive vector meson production in hard muon-nucleus scattering. It is demonstrated that COMPASS has high sensitivity to test this important prediction of perturbative QCD. Expanded version of the talk presented at the Workshop on ”Nucleon Structure and Meson Spectroscopy” physics to be studied at the C...
متن کاملThe depth of the honeybee's backup sun-compass systems.
Honeybees have at least three compass mechanisms: a magnetic compass; a celestial or sun compass, based on the daily rotation of the sun and sun-linked skylight patterns; and a backup celestial compass based on a memory of the sun's movements over time in relation to the landscape. The interactions of these compass systems have yet to be fully elucidated, but the celestial compass is primary in...
متن کاملExperimental plan of COMPASS
COMPASS is a new fixed target experiment at CERN to study the nucleon spin structure with a polarized muon beam and a polarized nucleon target. Gluon spin contribution to the nucleon spin will be studied by measuring the asymmetry of open charm production or high PT hadron pair production in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering of a polarized muons on a polarized nucleon target. The COMPASS...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Hyperbox Algorithm for High-Dimensional Discrete Optimization via Simulation Problems
W propose an adaptive hyperbox algorithm (AHA), which is an instance of a locally convergent, random search algorithm for solving discrete optimization via simulation problems. Compared to the COMPASS algorithm, AHA is more efficient in high-dimensional problems. By analyzing models of the behavior of COMPASS and AHA, we show why COMPASS slows down significantly as dimension increases, whereas ...
متن کاملAn Instrument to Measure Adherence to Weight Loss Programs: The Compliance Praxis Survey-Diet (COMPASS-Diet)
Adherence to behavioral weight loss strategies is important for weight loss success. We aimed to examine the reliability and validity of a newly developed compliance praxis-diet (COMPASS-diet) survey with participants in a 10-week dietary intervention program. During the third of five sessions, participants of the "slim-without-diet" weight loss program (n = 253) completed the COMPASS-diet surv...
