The COMPASS Experiment at CERN — •F.H. Heinsius — Universität Bonn — Universität Freiburg

The COMPASS experiment at CERN investigates the hadron structure by deep inealistic muon scattering and hadronic production processes. The main goal of the experiment is to measure the gluon contribution to the nucleon spin via open charm production and hadron pairs with high transverse momentum. A major part of the experiment has been installed in 2001 and first data taking has started. Highlights of the physics programme as well as the status of the experiment will be presented.

The project is supported by BMBF.
