Title: Experimental study of isovector spin sum rules

Journal Article ·
OSTI ID:922962

We present the Bjorken integral extracted from Jefferson Lab experiment EG1b for $0.05<2.92$ GeV$^2$. The integral is fit to extract the twist-4 element $$f_{2}^{p-n}$$ which is large and negative. Systematic studies of this higher twist analysis establish its legitimacy at $$Q^{2}$$ around 1 GeV$$^{2}$$. We also extracted the isovector part of the generalized forward spin polarizability $$\gamma_{0}$$. Although this quantity provides a robust test of Chiral Perturbation Theory, our data disagree with the calculations.
