Measurement of two hadron production introducing the chiral odd interference fragmentation function H1∢ is considered a new probe of the transverse spin distribution ΔTq(x). COMPASS is a fixed target experiment on the SPS M2 beamline at CERN. Its target can be polarised both longitudinally and transversally with respect to the polarised 160 GeV/c μ+ beam. In 2002, 2003, and 2004, 20% of the beam‐time was spent in the transverse configuration on a 6LiD target, allowing the measurement of transversity effects. First results of the analysis of two hadron production will be reported.
