TMD experiments at CERN
- Isabella Garzia (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare)
The COMPASS experiment at CERN has played a pivotal role in advancing our understanding of the spin structure and dynamics of the nucleon, as well as the internal landscape of hadrons. With its versatile muon and hadron beams, COMPASS has delivered key insights into transverse momentum-dependent distributions (TMDs), generalized parton distributions (GPDs), and the nucleon’s spin puzzle. As we...
A polarized gaseous target, operated in combination with the high-energy and high-intensity LHC beams, has the potential to open new physics frontiers and to deepen our understanding of the strong interaction in the non-perturbative regime of QCD. Specifically, the LHCspin project aims to perform spin-physics studies in high-energy polarized fixed-target collisions using the LHCb detector....
