Target mass corrections and twist-3 in the nucleon spin structure functions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v2

Abstract

The Nachtmann moment is employed to study the contribution of twist-3 operator to the nucleon spin structure functions. Target mass corrections to the Cornwall-Norton moments of the spin structure functions g1,2g_{1,2} are discussed. It is found that the corrections play a sizeable role to the contribution of the twist-3 d~2\tilde d_2 extracted from the Cornwall-Norton moments.
