High precision determination of the $Q^2$-evolution of the Bjorken Sum
Abstract
We present a significantly improved determination of the Bjorken Sum for 0.64.8 GeV using precise new and data taken with the CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab. A higher-twist analysis of the -dependence of the Bjorken Sum yields the twist-4 coefficient . This leads to the color polarizabilities and . The strong force coupling is determined to be , which has an uncertainty a factor of 1.5 smaller than earlier estimates using polarized DIS data. This improvement makes the comparison between extracted from polarized DIS and other techniques a valuable test of QCD.
