Measurement of Inclusive Proton Double-Spin Asymmetries and Polarized Structure Functions
PAGE The scattering of polarized electrons from a polarized proton target provides a means for studying the internal spin structure of the proton. The CLAS (CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer) EG1b experiment in Hall-B at Jefferson Laboratory measured double-spin inclusive and exclusive electron-nucleon scattering asymmetries using longitudinally polarized frozen NH3 and ND3 targets and a long...
متن کاملMeasurements of the proton and deuteron spin structure function g2 and asymmetry A2.
We have measured proton and deuteron virtual photon-nucleon asymmetries A p 2 and A d 2 and structure functions g p 2 and g d 2 over the range 0:03 < x < 0:8 and 1:3 < Q 2 < 10 (GeV/c) 2 by inelastically scattering polarized electrons oo polarized ammonia targets. Results for A 2 are signiicantly smaller than the positivity limit p R for both targets. Within experimental precision the g 2 data ...
متن کاملOn the new COMPASS measurement of the deuteron spin - dependent structure function
Very recently, a new measurement of the deuteron spin-dependent structure function g d 1 (x) was reported by the COMPASS group. A main change from the old SMC measurement is a considerable improvement of the statistical accuracy in the low x region 0.004 < x < 0.03. We point out that the new COMPASS data for g d 1 (x) as well as their QCD fits for ∆Σ and ∆s + ∆¯ s are all remarkably close to ou...
متن کاملSLAC E155 A PRECISION MEASUREMENT OF POLARIZED STRUCTURE FUNCTION g1 OF PROTON AND DEUTERON
The E155 experiment at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) has performed a precision measurementof the proton and deuteron spin structure function g 1 using deep inelastic scattering of polarized electrons on polarized 15 NH 3 and 6 LiD. g d 1 (x)dx = 0:034 0:002(stat) 0:005(syst) at an average Q 2 = 5 GeV 2 .These preliminary results are in reasonably good agreement with previous dat...
متن کاملNuclear Modification of Double Spin Asymmetries
We compute nuclear spin dependent structure functions using a dynamical model for bound nucleon densities and hence calculate nuclear modifications to asymmetries observed in recent doubly polarised deep inelastic scattering experiments. We conclude that while the individual densities are changed substantially by nuclear effects, the asymmetries themselves are largely insensitive to these chang...
