Zusammenfassung:COMPASS is a fixed target experiment at CERN SPS, dedicated to the study of the nucleon spin structure and hadron spectroscopy. The transverse spin structure of the nucleon is investigated by measuring semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) of a 160 GeV/c longitudinally polarized muon beam off transversely polarised targets. Particle Identification (PID) is performed with a Ring Imaging CHerenkov detector (RICH) that has been upgraded in 2005. COMPASS took data using transversely polarised 6LiD target from 2002 to 2004 and with a transversely polarised NH3 target in 2007. In this talk the Collins and Sivers asymmetries on polarised proton for charged pions and kaons will be shown for the first time and compared with the same results on polarised deuteron for COMPASS.
