We perform the isospin decomposition of proton and neutron SLAC data for moderately low $x$ in the region $0.01 \leq x \leq 0.1$. The isovector part is well described by a power behaviour $x^{\alpha}$, where $\alpha$ does not correspond to…
The inclusive double-spin asymmetry, A_1^p, has been measured at COMPASS in deepinelastic polarised muon scattering off a large polarised NH3 target. The data, collected in the year 2007, cover the range Q2 > 1 (GeV/c)^2, 0.004 < x < 0.7…

We perform the isospin decomposition of proton and neutron SLAC data in the region $0.01 \leq x \leq 0.1$. The isovector part is well described by a power behaviour $x^{\alpha}$, where $\alpha$ leads to the validity of Bjorken sum rule and…
The neutron spin structure function, $g_{1n}$, has been of considerable interest recently in connection with the Bjorken sum rule and the proton spin crisis. Work on this problem has concentrated on measurements at low-$x$. We recall the…

The determination of twist-4 corrections to the structure functions of polarized $e(\mu)N$ scattering by QCD sum rules is reviewed and critically analyzed. It is found that in the case of the Bjorken sum rule the twist-4 correction is small…
In this work we study unpolarized spin $1/2$ baryonic deep inelastic scattering (DIS) in the regime of large Bjorken parameter $x$. We calculate the corresponding structure functions $F_{1,2}(x,q^2)$. Our approach is based on an AdS/QCD…
