| Title | Longitudinal spin asymmetries in polarized deuteron DIS with spectator tagging | ||||
| Abstract | Polarized electron-deuteron DIS with spectator proton tagging offers a way of measuring the neutron spin structure functions with maximal theoretical control of nuclear effects. We calculate the nuclear structure factors in the longitudinal double-spin asymmetries using methods of light-front nuclear structure. A unique feature of the spin-1 system is that spin asymmetries can be formed either relative to the cross section in all three spin states (lambda_d = +/-1, 0) or in the two maximum-spin states only (+/-1, involving tensor polarization). We find that the two-state deuteron spin asymmetry at small spectator proton momenta permits accurate extraction of the neutron structure function g_{1n}. Such measurements could be performed at a future electron-ion collider (EIC) with polarized deuteron beams and suitable forward detectors. | ||||
