Precision measurement of the neutron twist-3 matrix element d(2)(n): probing color forces.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Double-spin asymmetries and absolute cross sections were measured at large Bjorken x (0.25≤x≤0.90), in both the deep-inelastic and resonance regions, by scattering longitudinally polarized electrons at beam energies of 4.7 and 5.9 GeV from a transversely and longitudinally polarized (3)He target. In this dedicated experiment, the spin structure function g(2)((3)He) was determined with precision at large x, and the neutron twist-3 matrix element d(2)(n) was measured at ⟨Q(2)⟩ of 3.21 and 4.32 GeV(2)/c(2), with an absolute precision of about 10(-5). Our results are found to be in agreement with lattice QCD calculations and resolve the disagreement found with previous data at ⟨Q(2)⟩=5 GeV(2)/c(2). Combining d(2)(n) and a newly extracted twist-4 matrix element f(2)(n), the average neutron color electric and magnetic forces were extracted and found to be of opposite sign and about 30 MeV/fm in magnitude.

متن کاملMeasurement of the Neutron d 2 n Matrix Element : A linear Combination of the Electric and Magnetic Color
We propose to make a measurement of the spin-dependent scattering cross section for a longitudinally polarized electron beam off a transversely and longitudinally polarized He target. The measurement will cover excitation energies across the resonance and deep inelastic regions at constant 4-momentum transfer Q = 2 (GeV/c). We will extract the linear combination 2g1 + 3g2 of spin structure func...
متن کاملNew Results on Nucleon Spin Structure
Recent precision spin structure data from Jefferson Lab have significantly advanced our knowledge of nucleon structure in the valence quark (high-x) region and improved our understanding of higher-twist effects, spin sum rules and quark-hadron duality. First, results of a precision measurement of the neutron spin asymmetry, A 1 , in the high-x region are discussed. The new data shows clearly, f...
متن کاملSpin – dependent twist – 4 matrix elements from the instanton vacuum : Flavor – singlet and nonsinglet
We estimate the twist–4 spin–1 nucleon matrix element f 2 in an instanton–based description of the QCD vacuum. In addition to the flavor–nonsinglet we compute also the flavor–singlet matrix element, which appears in next–to–leading order of the 1/N c –expansion. The corresponding twist–3 spin–2 matrix elements d 2 are suppressed in the packing fraction of the instanton medium, ¯ ρ/ ¯ R ≪ 1. We ...
متن کاملHigher Twists in Spin Structure Functions from a “constituent Quark” Point of View
We discuss the implications of a “constituent quark” structure of the nucleon for the leading (1/Q–) power corrections to the spin structure functions. Our basic assumption is the presence of quark–gluon correlations in the nucleon wave function, whose size, ρ ∼ 0.3 fm, is small compared to the nucleon radius, R (two–scale picture). We argue that in this picture the isovector twist–4 matrix ele...
