Study of the Hadron Structure in the Experiments with the COMPASS (NA58) and HERMES (DESY) Spectrometers

Leader:	I.A. Savin
Deputies:	M.G. Sapozhnikov V.G. Krivokhijin

Scientific Programme:
-Study of inclusive and semi-inclusive processes in deep inelastic scattering of muons and electrons on polarized and unpolarized targets.

- Search for effects of nucleon strange sea and gluon polarization in the production of

hyperons and charm mesons.

- Determination of the quark spin, gluon and quark orbital momenta contributions to the nucleon spin.

- Sum rule tests for spin-dependent structure functions of the proton and neutron, QCD tests.

- Spectroscopy of charmed hadrons. Primakoff and diffraction processes.

- Measurement new structure functions and DVCS.

- Construction of a hadron calorimeter, a muon system and straw tracking chambers for the COMPASS spectrometer.

- COMPASS software development and support of the CERN program library at JINR.

Expected main results in 2006:

Participation in the COMPASS data taking run.
Upgrade of the calorimeter HCAL1 for COMPASS. Support of HCAL1 during 2006 run.
Performance studies of the tracking detectors MWPC, STRAW, W4/5 for COMPASS.
Participation in commissioning of RICH WALL for COMPASS.
Development of the COMPASS and HERMES software and simulations.
Participation in analysis of COMPASS data recorded in 2002-2004, and 2006.
Participation in data taking and analysis with HERMES.
Theoretical studies of spin effects in COMPASS and HERMES.
Implementation of the COMPASS software at JINR.
