Q2 Evolution of the Neutron Spin Structure Moments using a He-3 Target

Amarian, M and Fissum, Kevin LU (2004) In Physical Review Letters 92.
Abstract
We have measured the spin structure functions g1 and g2 of 3He in a double-spin experiment by inclusively scattering polarized electrons at energies ranging from 0.862 to 5.058 GeV off a polarized 3He target at a 15.5° scattering angle. Excitation energies covered the resonance and the onset of the deep inelastic regions. We have determined for the first time the Q2 evolution of 1(Q2)=g1(x,Q2)dx, 2(Q2)=g2(x,Q2)dx, and d2(Q2)=x2[2g1(x,Q2)+3g2(x,Q2)]dx for the neutron in the range 0.1Q20.9 GeV2 with good precision. 1(Q2) displays a smooth variation from high to low Q2. The Burkhardt-Cottingham sum rule holds within uncertainties and d2 is nonzero over the measured range.
