Abstract

COMPASS is a fixed-target experiment at CERN with a long history and intense and diverse physics programme. In the Review we consider particular points of the existing and possible future programme: test of the chiral theory predictions with hadron beam, search for exotic charmonia, study of the EMC effect in the Drell–Yan process, search for production of bound \(p\overline p \) states and study of prompt photon production in hadronic interactions.
