Q2 Evolution of the Neutron Spin Structure Moments using a He3 Target

Journal Article · · Physical Review Letters
We have measured the spin structure functions g{sub 1} and g{sub 2} of {sup 3}He in a double-spin experiment by inclusively scattering polarized electrons at energies ranging from 0.862 to 5.07 GeV off a polarized {sup 3}He target at a 15.5{sup o} scattering angle. Excitation energies covered the resonance and the onset of the deep inelastic regions. We have determined for the first time the Q{sup 2} evolution of {Gamma}{sub 1}(Q{sup 2})=/int{sub 0}{sup 1} g{sub 1}(x,Q{sup 2}) dx, {Gamma}{sub 2}(Q{sup 2})=/int{sub 0}{sup 1} g{sub 2}(x,Q{sup 2}) dx and d{sub 2} (Q{sup 2}) = /int{sub 0}{sup 1} x {sup 2}[2g{sub 1}(x,Q{sup 2}) + 3g{sub 2}(x,Q{sup 2})] dx for the neutron in the range 0.1 GeV{sup 2} /leq Q{sup 2} /leq 0.9 GeV{sup 2} with good precision. {Gamma}{sub 1}(Q{sup 2}) displays a smooth variation from high to low Q{sup 2}. The Burkhardt-Cottingham sum rule holds within uncertainties and d{sub 2} is non-zero over the measured range.
