In Quantum Field Theory, scattering amplitudes are computed from propagators which, for internal lines, are built upon spin/polarization-sum relationships. In turn, these are normally constructed upon plane-wave solutions of the free field…
We present the Bjorken integral extracted from Jefferson Lab experiment EG1b for $0.05<Q^{2}<2.92$ GeV$^2$. The integral is fit to extract the twist-4 element $f_{2}^{p-n}$ which appears to be relatively large and negative. Systematic…
