| Title | Spin structure of 3He an the neutron at low Q2, A measurement of the extended GDH intergral and the Burkhardt-Cottingham sum rule | ||||
| Abstract | Experiment E94-010 investigated the spin structure of the neutron and ^3He at Jefferson Laboratory in Newport News, VA. Longitudinally polarized electrons of incident energy from 0.9 GeV to 5.0 GeV were scattered from a high pressure polarized ^3He target in experimental Hall A. ^3He was used as an effective neutron target, taking advantage of the approximate cancellation of the two spin-paired protons in the ^3He ground state. Longitudinal and transverse target polarization were maintained, allowing a precision determination of both spin structure functions g1(x,Q^2) and g2(x,Q^2). The structure functions were extracted from an inclusive polarized cross section measurement at low momentum transfer (0.1<Q^2<0.9 GeV^2) in the threshold, quasielastic, and resonance regions. The goal of this experiment has been to test our grasp of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the fundamental theory of the strong interaction, in the non-perturbative region. QCD has been verified impressively in t | ||||
