contents In semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) the non-zero transverse momentum of partons induces azimuthal dependence of the cross-section. For unpolarised nucleon, three azimuthal modulations that can be related to different combinations of twist-two or higher twist transverse momentum dependent PDFs and fragmentation functions arise: the so-called Cahn effect reflected in $\cosϕ_\mathrm{h}$ modulation, the $\cos2ϕ_\mathrm{h}$ term related to the Boer--Mulders PDF and $\sinϕ_\mathrm{h}$ twist-three effect known as beam-spin asymmetry. In 2016 and 2017, the COMPASS experiment at CERN collected a large sample of SIDIS events using a longitudinally polarised 160~GeV/$c$ muon beam scattering on a liquid hydrogen target. Amplitudes of the aforementioned azimuthal modulations have been extracted from part of the data. A new procedure has been developed to subtract a background coming from the decay of diffractively produced vector mesons. The results presented in this talk qualitatively agree with earlier COMPASS results obtained with an isoscalar target.
