Measurement of the generalized forward spin polarizabilities of the neutron
The generalized forward spin polarizabilities {gamma}{sub 0} and {delta}{sub LT} of the neutron have been extracted for the first time in a Q{sup 2} range from 0.1 to 0.9 GeV{sup 2}. Since {gamma}{sub 0} is sensitive to nucleon resonances and {delta}{sub LT} is insensitive to the {Delta} resonance, it is expected that the pair of forward spin polarizabilities should provide benchmark tests of the current understanding of the chiral dynamics of QCD. The new results on {delta}{sub LT} show significant disagreement with Chiral Perturbation Theory calculations, while the data for {gamma}{sub 0} at low Q{sup 2} are in good agreement with a next-to-lead order Relativistic Baryon Chiral Perturbation theory calculation. The data show good agreement with the phenomenological MAID model.
