Neutron Spin Structure in the Resonance Region and Quark-Hadron Duality

Conference ·
OSTI ID:876512
Quark-Hadron duality has been experimentally demonstrated for the spin independent structure function F{sub 2}. Duality is observed when, at the same value of scaling variable x{sub bj}, the smooth scaling curve at high momentum transfer becomes an average over the resonances at lower momentum transfer. Jefferson Lab experiment 01-012 used the polarized {sup 3}He target in Hall A for an extraction of the neutron spin structure function g{sub 1}{sup n} and the virtual photon asymmetry A{sub 1}{sup n} in the resonance region over a Q{sup 2} range from 1.0 to 4.0 (GeV/c){sup 2}. Data from E01-012 combined with Deep Inelastic Scattering data will provide a test of quark-hadron duality predictions for g{sub 1}{sup n} and A{sub 1}{sup n}. This will be one of the first tests of the spin and flavor dependence of quark-hadron duality. The demonstration of duality for spin structure functions will enable us to use the resonance data to study the nucleon spin structure in the large x{sub bj} region.
