On Deuteron Spin Dependent Structure Function $ g_{2}(x)$ in Relativistic Model of Deuteron
Abstract
The spin dependent deuteron structure functions are investigated in the relativistic model of deuteron. It is shown that the deuteron structure function can be considered properly only in the infinite momentum frame where the virtual photon has pure transverse components ( at ), whereas in the conventional Breit frame the impulse approximation for may be violated due to pair creation by the virtual photon. It is shown that due to relativistic effects the deuteron structure function has a nontrivial contribution determined by first derivative of the nucleon structure function . Such contribution is small but it increases when . It may achieve about 10 \% at and could be essentially larger for the transverse structure function
