Title: Experimental determination of the evolution of the Bjorken integral at low Q{sup 2}

Journal Article ·
OSTI ID:825561

We extract the Bjorken integral {Gamma}{sub 1}{sup p-n} in the range 0.17 < Q{sup 2} < 1.10 GeV{sup 2} from inclusive scattering of polarized electrons by polarized protons, deuterons and {sup 3}He, for the region in which the integral is dominated by nucleon resonances. These data bridge the domains of the hadronic and partonic descriptions of the nucleon. In combination with earlier measurements at higher Q{sup 2}, we extract the non-singlet twist-4 matrix element f{sub 2}.
