Precision Measurement of the Proton and Deuteron Spin Structure Functions g2
- SLAC
We measured the spin structure functions g{sub 2}{sup p} and g{sub 2}{sup d} in the range 0.02 {le} x {le} 0.8 and 0.7 {le} Q{sup 2} {le} 20 GeV{sup 2} by scattering 29.1 and 32.3 GeV longitudinally polarized electrons from transversely polarized NH{sub 3} and {sup 6}LiD targets. g{sub 2} approximately follows the twist-2 Wandzura-Wilczek calculation. The twist-3 reduced matrix elements d{sub 2}{sup p} and d{sub 2}{sup m} are less than two standard deviations from zero. The data are inconsistent with the Burkhardt-Cottingham sum rule if there is no pathological behavior as x {yields} 0. The Efremov-Leader-Teryaev integral is consistent with zero.
