First measurements of the Collins and Sivers asymmetries of charged hadrons produced in deep-inelastic scattering of muons on a transversely polarized 6-LiD target are presented. The data were taken in 2002 with the COMPASS spectrometer using the muon beam of the CERN SPS at 160 GeV/c. The Collins asymmetry turns out to be compatible with zero, as does the measured Sivers asymmetry within the present statistical errors.

Measurements of transverse-momentum dependent effects in semi-inclusive DIS at COMPASS
New COMPASS data from polarized deuteron targets reduce uncertainties on d-quark transversity by a factor of 2.5 at large Bjorken x and will enable first extraction of the Boer-Mulders function from unpolarized nucleon data.
