Higher Twists and Color Polarizabilities in the Neutron

Abstract

Color polarizabilities of the neutron are extracted from data on the lowest moment of the spin-dependent g1g_1 structure function. New data in the resonance region from Jefferson Lab at Q2\alt1Q^2 \alt 1 GeV2^2, in combination with world data at higher Q2Q^2, allow a systematic determination of the 1/Q21/Q^2 corrections, and provide the first constraints on 1/Q41/Q^4 corrections. The results suggest that higher-twist effects in the neutron are small, and that quark-hadron duality may be approximately valid, even down to Q21Q^2 \sim 1 GeV2^2.
