The recent high statistics NMC data on the Tin to Carbon structure function ratio seems to indicate, for the first time, a significant $Q^2$ dependence, especially at small values of Bjorken $x$, $x < 0.05$, and $Q^2 > 1 GeV^2$. Pure…
We performed the measurement of the inclusive electron scattering off the proton in the resonance region (W<2.5 GeV) at momentum transfer Q2 below 4.5 (GeV/c)^2 with the CLAS detector. The large acceptance of CLAS provided an access to a…
The higher twist corrections $h^N(x)/Q^2$ to the spin dependent proton and neutron structure functions $g_1^N(x, Q^2)$ are extracted in a model independent way from experimental data on $g_1^N$ and found to be non-negligible. It is shown…
We present the first measurement of the Q^2-dependence of the neutron spin structure function g_2^n at five kinematic points covering 0.57 (GeV/c)^2 <= Q^2 <= 1.34 (GeV/c)^2 at x~0.2. Though the naive quark-parton model predicts g_2=0,…
Motivated by the recent measurement of proton-proton spin-correlation parameters up to 2.5 GeV laboratory energy, we investigate models for nucleon-nucleon (NN) scattering above 1 GeV. Signatures for a gradual failure of the traditional…

The spin structure function $g_1^p$ of the proton is studied in a two component framework, where the perturbative evolution of parton distributions and nonperturbative vector meson dominance model are used. We predict the $g_1^p$ asymmetric…

Part I is devoted to the extraction of the QCD coupling from a bound state approach at low energy scales, where unphysical singularities make the RG-improved pQCD useless. Theoretical results on the meson spectrum based on a Bethe-Salpeter…
