The HERA data at large $Q^2$ and small-$x$ investigate large distances on the light-cone. At such large distances the scattered quarks can maintain their colour identity by polarizing the vacuum as they transfer energy to it. We calculate…
A recent lattice calculation of the spin-dependent structure function g_2 is revisited. It has been recognized that the twist-three operator, which gives rise to d_2, mixes non-perturbatively with operators of lower dimensions under…
