Results on spin sum rules and polarizabilities at low $Q^2$

Nuclear Experiment 2022-02-23 v1

Abstract

We report on recently published experimental results on spin sum rules, and particularly on the generalized spin polarizabilities γ0(Q2)\gamma_0(Q^2) (for both the proton and neutron) and δLT(Q2)\delta_\mathrm{LT}(Q^2) (for the neutron). The data were taken at Jefferson Lab in Hall A by experiment E97110 (neutron) and in Hall B by experiments E03006 and E05111 (proton and deuteron, respectively). The experiments covered the very low Q2Q^2 domain, down to Q20.02Q^2 \simeq 0.02 GeV2^2. This is well into the domain where Chiral Effective Field Theory (χ\chiEFT) predictions should be valid. Some measured observables agree with the state-of-the-art χ\chiEFT predictions but others are in tension, including δLTn(Q2)\delta_\mathrm{LT}^n(Q^2) which χ\chiEFT prediction was expected to be robust. This suggests that χ\chiEFT does not yet consistently describe nucleon spin observables, even at the very low Q2Q^2 covered by the experiments.
