Description
The measurement of transverse spin effects in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering (SIDIS) is an important part of the COMPASS physics program. In the years 2002-2004 data was taken by scattering a 160 GeV/c muon beam off a transversely polarized deuteron target. In 2007, additional data was collected on a transversely polarized proton target. New preliminary results for the Collins and Sivers asymmetries from the analysis of the proton data are presented.
