Description

The main physics results of the SMC experiment and their impact on spin physics are briefly reviewed. After a short account of the motivations for a new experiment to further investigate the spin structure of the nucleon through semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering, the physics objectives of the COMPASS experiment and an overall description of the experimental apparatus are given
