We derive a unitarity relationship between the spin structure function $g_{LT}(x,Q^{2})=g_{1}(x,Q^{2})+g_{2}(x,Q^{2})$, the LT interference diffractive structure function and the spin-flip coupling of the pomeron to nucleons. Our…

The QCD sum rules for spin-dependent nucleon-nucleon interactions are formulated and their physical implications are studied. The basic object of the study is the correlation function of the nucleon interpolating field, where the matrix…

We analyse the proton and deutron data on spin dependent asymmetry $A_1(x,Q^2)$ supposing the DIS structure functions $g_1(x,Q^2)$ and $F_3(x,Q^2)$ have the similar $Q^2$-dependence. As a result, we have obtained that $\Gamma_1^p -…

We study deep-inelastic scattering from polarized nuclei within a covariant framework. A clear connection is established between relativistic and non-relativistic limits, which enables a rigorous derivation of convolution formulae for the…

Dispersive sum rules constitute long-standing tools for extracting hadron features from QCD. We estimate the systematic uncertainties induced by assuming quark-hadron duality and improve the accuracy of the resulting predictions by…

We present progress in the QCD analysis of the Bjorken sum rule at low momentum transfers. We study asymptotic structure of the perturbative QCD expansion at low $Q^2$ scales based on analysis of recent accurate data on the Bjorken sum rule…

We present the results of our QCD analysis of the recent CCFR data for the structure function $xF_3 (x,Q^2)$ of the deep-inelastic neutrino--nucleon scattering. The analysis is based on the Jacobi polynomials expansion of the structure…

We will discuss recent results for the spin structure functions, with an emphasis on g2 . High precision g2 data allows for tests of the Burkhardt-Cottingham sum rule, and is needed to consistently evaluate higher twist effects.

The strong interaction is not well understood at low energy, or for interactions with low momentum transfer $Q^2$, but one of the clearest insights we have comes from Chiral Perturbation Theory ($\chi$PT). This effective treatment gives…

The transition gamma*(q_1)gamma*(q_2) -> \pi0(p) is studied within the QCD sum rule framework. As a first step, we analyze the kinematic situation when both photon virtualities are spacelike and large. We construct a QCD sum rule for…
