Abstract

We present a Monte Carlo based analysis of the combined world data on polarized lepton-nucleon deep-inelastic scattering at small Bjorken xx within the polarized quark dipole formalism. We show for the first time that double-spin asymmetries at x<0.1x<0.1 can be successfully described using only small-xx evolution derived from first-principles QCD, allowing predictions to be made for the g1g_1 structure function at much smaller xx. Anticipating future data from the Electron-Ion Collider, we assess the impact of electromagnetic and parity-violating polarization asymmetries on g1g_1 and demonstrate an extraction of the individual flavor helicity PDFs at small xx.
