We measured the $g_1$ spin structure function of the deuteron at low $Q^{2}$, where QCD can be approximated with chiral perturbation theory ($\chi$PT). The data cover the resonance region, up to an invariant mass of $W\approx1.9$~GeV. The…
We argue that the recently published CLAS results on the deuteron spin polarizability $\gamma_0$ [Adhikari {\it et al.}, Phys.\ Rev.\ Lett.\ {\bf 120}, 062501 (2018)], as well as their comparisons with chiral perturbation theory ($\chi$PT),…

Measuring the spin structure of protons and neutrons tests our understanding of how they arise from quarks and gluons, the fundamental building blocks of nuclear matter. At long distances the coupling constant of the strong interaction…
Interpreting measurements requires a physical theory, but the theory's accuracy may vary across the experimental domain. To optimize experimental design, and so to ensure that the substantial resources necessary for modern experiments are…
