Evidence for quark-hadron duality in the proton spin asymmetry A1.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spin-dependent lepton-nucleon scattering data have been used to investigate the validity of the concept of quark-hadron duality for the spin asymmetry A1. Longitudinally polarized positrons were scattered off a longitudinally polarized hydrogen target for values of Q2 between 1.2 and 12 GeV2 and values of W2 between 1 and 4 GeV2. The average double-spin asymmetry in the nucleon resonance region is found to agree with that measured in deep-inelastic scattering at the same values of the Bjorken scaling variable x. This finding implies that the description of A1 in terms of quark degrees of freedom is valid also in the nucleon resonance region for values of Q2 above 1.6 GeV2.

Quark-hadron duality in neutron (3He) spin structure.
We present experimental results of the first high-precision test of quark-hadron duality in the spin-structure function g_{1} of the neutron and 3He using a polarized 3He target in the four-momentum-transfer-squared range from 0.7 to 4.0 (GeV/c);{2}. Global duality is observed for the spin-structure function g_{1} down to at least Q;{2}=1.8 (GeV/c);{2} in both targets. We have also formed the p...
متن کاملIs Nucleon Spin Structure Inconsistent with Constituent Quark Model?
Hadron structure studies might be traced back to Fermi-Yang [1] and Sakata models [2]. Gell-Mann [3] and Zweig [4] proposed the quark model of hadrons. Lepton-nucleon deep inelastic scattering (DIS) [5] verified the quark structure of hadrons. However the quark revealed in DIS is found to be different from the quark as a carrier of SU(3) symmetry in Gell-Mann-Zweig model. The former is almost a...

Jefferson Lab experiment E01-012 measured the 3He spin-structure functions and virtual photon asymmetries in the resonance region in the momentum transfer range 1.0<Q2<4.0 (GeV/c)2. Our data, when compared with existing deep inelastic scattering data, were used to test quark-hadron duality in g1 and A1 for 3He and the neutron. In addition, preliminary results on the 3He spin-structure function ...
