Measurement of two hadron production introducing the chiral odd interference fragmentation function H{sub 1}{sup arcl} is considered a new probe of the transverse spin distribution {delta}Tq(x). COMPASS is a fixed target experiment on the SPS M2 beamline at CERN. Its target can be polarised both longitudinally and transversely with respect to the polarised 160 GeV/c {mu}+ 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.
