contents The azimuthal angle ($ϕ_h$) distribution of hadrons produced in deep inelastic scattering serves as a powerful tool for probing the nucleon structure in terms of transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions and fragmentation functions. For an unpolarized nucleon, three azimuthal modulations arise: $\cosϕ_h$ related to the Cahn effect, $\cos2ϕ_h$ linked to the Boer--Mulders function, and $\sinϕ_h$ known as beam-spin asymmetry, each revealing insights into combinations of twist-two or higher-twist distribution and fragmentation functions. The COMPASS collaboration at CERN collected semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering events in 2016 and 2017 using a longitudinally polarized 160 GeV/$c$ muon beam scattering off a liquid hydrogen target. Data from 2016 corresponding to about 1/3 of the full sample have been analyzed to measure the azimuthal modulations of charged hadrons. For the first time, the results were corrected for QED radiative effects using the DJANGOH MC generator.
