ABSTRACT
We present a determination of the gluon polarization Delta G/G in nucleon, based on helicity asymmetry quasi-real photoproduction events, Q^2<1(GeV/c)^2, with pair large transverse-momentum hadrons final state. The data were obtained by COMPASS experiment at CERN using 160 GeV polarized muon beam scattered 6-LiD target. for selected events is = 0.002 +- 0.019(stat.) 0.003(syst.). From this value, we obtain leading-order QCD analysis G/G=0.024 0.089(stat.) 0.057(syst.) x_g 0.095 and mu^2 =~ 3 (GeV}/c)^2.
