Description

COMPASS is a fixed-target experiment at the CERN SPS, investigating the structure and the dynamics of hadrons. The experimental setup features a modern spectrometer with wide acceptance and precise momentum resolution for charged track reconstruction. Furthermore, particle identification and calorimetry make it an ideal tool to access a broad range of final states. In 2008 and 2009, a world leading data set was recorded with 190 GeV/c hadron beams impinging on a liquid hydrogen target. Precision studies of the light-quark meson spectrum are pursued by the means of partial-wave analysis. We will present selected results on exotic mesons and glueball candidates formed in diffractive dissociation and central production reactions.
