Prospects of the COMPASS hadron program with charged kaonic final states

The COMPASS experiment at CERN took data with a 190 GeV/c negative hadron beam on a fixed proton target in 2008. These data provide an opportunity to search for mesons with exotic JPC and for glueballs. A first glance on the ongoing analyses is presented. This includes the discussion of kaonic final states produced by incoming pions or kaons. The available statistics of the 2008 data allow an improved study of centrally produced resonances compared to previous experiments. Preliminary results on resonances in the kaonic final states are shown and discussed. The analysis of charged kaonic final states serves as an important cross-check of the ongoing neutral kaonic final state studies. In particular, we discuss prominent KKπ resonances which preferentially decay via K*(890) and the exclusive ϕπ production. Partial wave analyses of these final states are planned.
