Title: Higher Twist Analysis of the Proton g{sub 1} Structure Function

Journal Article ·
OSTI ID:824712

We perform a global analysis of all available spin-dependent proton structure function data, covering a large range of Q{sup 2}, 1 < Q{sup 2} < 30 GeV{sup 2}, and calculate the lowest moment of the g{sub 1} structure function as a function of Q{sup 2}. The moment at high Q{sup 2} is used to obtain a value of the singlet axial charge, consistent with all the proton data. From the Q{sup 2} dependence of the lowest moment we extract matrix elements of twist-4 operators, and determine the color electric and magnetic polarizabilities of the proton.
