Gluon polarisation from high transverse momentum hadron pairs production (COMPASS)
A new preliminary result of a gluon polarisation \Delta G/G obtained
selecting high transverse momentum hadron pairs in DIS events with Q^2>1
(GeV/c)^2 is presented. Data has been collected by COMPASS at CERN during the
2002-2004 years. In the extraction of contributions coming from
the leading order and QCD processes are taken into account. A new
weighting method based on a neural network approach is used. Also a preliminary
result of \Delta G/G for events with Q^2<1 (GeV/c)^2 is presented.Comment: Advanced Studies Institute On Symmetries And Spin (SPIN-Praha-2008)

Compass Results on Gluon Polarisation from High pT hadron pairs
One of the goals of the COMPASS experiment is the determination of the gluon
polarisation \Delta G/G, for a deep understanding of the spin structure of the
nucleon. In DIS the gluon polarisation can be measured via the
Photon-Gluon-Fusion (PGF) process, identified by open charm production or by
selecting high p_T hadron pairs in the final state. The data used for this work
were collected by the COMPASS experiment during the years 2002-2004, using a
160 GeV naturally polarised positive muon beam scattering on a polarised
nucleon target. A new preliminary result of the gluon polarisation \Delta G/G
from high p_T hadron pairs in events with Q^2>1 (GeV/c)^2 is presented. In
order to extract \Delta G/G, this analysis takes into account the leading
process \gamma q contribution together with the PGF and QCD Compton processes.
A new weighted method based on a neural network approach is used. A preliminary
\Delta G/G result for events from quasi-real photoproduction (Q^2<1 (GeV/c)^2)
is also presented.Comment: prepared for the proceedings of the DSPIN09 - XIII Workshop on High
