Transverse momentum and azimuthal angle distributions of hadrons in DIS at COMPASS

The COMPASS experiment plays an important role in studies of nucleon structure. Measurements performed in 2016-2017 with an unpolarised liquid hydrogen target and a longitudinally polarised 160 GeV/$c$ muon beam provide a high-statistics data sample for the analysis of semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering, giving access to transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution and fragmentation functions. The 2016 data set was analysed to determine the multiplicities of hadrons produced in DIS differential in $x$, $Q^2$ and $P_\text{T}$, as well as the amplitudes of azimuthal modulations in the hadron azimuthal-angle distributions. In particular, the unpolarised asymmetries $A^{\cos ϕ_\text{h}}_\text{UU}$ (related to the Cahn effect), $A^{\cos 2ϕ_\text{h}}_\text{UU}$ (sensitive to the Boer--Mulders function), and the beam-spin asymmetry $A^{\sin ϕ_\text{h}}_\text{LU}$ were extracted in 4-dimensional bins matching those of the multiplicities, and also integrated over some of the variables.

Measurement of azimuthal modulations in SIDIS off proton target at COMPASS

The azimuthal angle ($ϕ_h$) distribution of hadrons produced in deep inelastic scattering serves as a powerful tool for probing the nucleon structure in terms of transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions and fragmentation functions. For an unpolarized nucleon, three azimuthal modulations arise: $\cosϕ_h$ related to the Cahn effect, $\cos2ϕ_h$ linked to the Boer--Mulders function, and $\sinϕ_h$ known as beam-spin asymmetry, each revealing insights into combinations of twist-two or higher-twist distribution and fragmentation functions. The COMPASS collaboration at CERN collected semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering events in 2016 and 2017 using a longitudinally polarized 160 GeV/$c$ muon beam scattering off a liquid hydrogen target. Data from 2016 corresponding to about 1/3 of the full sample have been analyzed to measure the azimuthal modulations of charged hadrons. For the first time, the results were corrected for QED radiative effects using the DJANGOH MC generator.
