Resonances and higher twist in polarized lepton-nucleon scattering
We present a detailed analysis of resonance contributions in the context of
higher twist effects in the moments of the proton spin structure function g_1.
For each of these moments, it is found that there exists a characteristic Q^2
region in which (perturbative) higher twist corrections coexist with
(non-perturbative) resonance contribution of comparable magnitude.Comment: 17 pages LaTe
Nucleon Spin Structures from Lattice QCD: Flavor Singlet Axial and Tensor Charges
The flavor singlet axial and tensor charges of the nucleon are calculated in
lattice QCD. We find for the axial charge and
for the tensor charge. The result for the axial charge shows
reasonable agreement with the experiment and that for the tensor charge is the
first prediction from lattice QCD before experimental measurements.Comment: 10 pages, latex source-file, 5 figures as epsf-file, uses

Proton Spin Content From Lattice QCD
We calculate the form factor of the quark energy momentum tensor and thereby
extract the quark orbital angular momentum of the nucleon. The calculation is
done on a quenched lattice at and with Wilson
fermions at = 0.148, 0.152, 0.154 and 0.155. We calculate the
disconnected insertion stochastically which employs the noise with an
unbiased subtraction. This proves to be an efficient method of reduce the error
from the noise. We find that the total quark contribution to the proton spin is
. From this we deduce that the quark orbital angular momentum is
and predict the gluon spin to be , i.e. about
40% of the proton spin is due to the glue.Comment: LATTICE99(Matrix Elements), 3 pages, 3 figure
Accessing directly the strange quark content of the proton at HERA
We investigate a double-spin asymmetry for the semi-inclusive
hyperon production in the longitudinally deep inelastic lepton-proton
scattering, the sign of which can provide us with important information about
the strange quark helicity distribution in the proton.On the basis of the
interpretation of the longitudinal deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering
data as a negative strange quark polarization in the proton and the preliminary
results on the measurement of the longitudinal polarization at the
resonance in electron-positron annihilation,we predict a minus sign for the
suggested observable. The experimental condition required for our suggestion is
met by the HERA facilities, so the asymmetry considered can be measured by the
HERMES experiments at HERA in the near future.Comment: 10 pages, Revtex, completely rephrased, references adde
Recent Results from Jefferson Lab
Recent results on studies of the structure of nucleons and nuclei in the
regime of strong interaction QCD are discussed. Use of high current polarized
electron beams, polarized targets, and recoil polarimeters, in conjunction with
modern spectrometers and detector instrumentation allow much more detailed
studies of nucleon and nuclear structure than has been possible in the past.
The CEBAF accelerator at Jefferson Lab was build to study the internal
structure of hadrons in a regime where confinement is important and strong
interaction QCD is the relevant theory. I discuss how the first experiments
already make significant contributions towards an improved understanding of
hadronic structure.Comment: Lecture presented at the International School of Nuclear Physics,

An Analysis of the Next-to-Leading Order Corrections to the g_T(=g_1+g_2) Scaling Function
We present a general method for obtaining the quantum chromodynamical
radiative corrections to the higher-twist (power-suppressed) contributions to
inclusive deep-inelastic scattering in terms of light-cone correlation
functions of the fundamental fields of quantum chromodynamics. Using this
procedure, we calculate the previously unknown corrections
to the twist-three part of the spin scaling function and the corresponding forward Compton amplitude
. Expanding our result about the unphysical point ,
we arrive at an operator product expansion of the nonlocal product of two
electromagnetic current operators involving twist-two and -three operators
valid to for forward matrix elements. We find that the
Wandzura-Wilczek relation between and the twist-two part of
is respected in both the singlet and non-singlet sectors at this
order, and argue its validity to all orders. The large- limit does not
appreciably simplify the twist-three Wilson coefficients.Comment: 41 pages, 9 figures, corrected minor erro
Helicity-dependent generalized parton distributions in constituent quark models
Helicity-dependent generalized parton distributions of the nucleon are
derived from the overlap representation of generalized parton distributions
using light-cone wave functions obtained in constituent quark models. Results
from two different quark models are used also to study the angular momentum sum
rule and the spin asymmetry in polarized electron scattering.Comment: 20 pages, 5 figures, 2 table
Target mass corrections and twist-3 in the nucleon spin structure functions
The Nachtmann moment is employed to study the contribution of twist-3
operator to the nucleon spin structure functions. Target mass corrections to
the Cornwall-Norton moments of the spin structure functions are
discussed. It is found that the corrections play a sizeable role to the
contribution of the twist-3 extracted from the Cornwall-Norton
moments.Comment: 11 pages, 1 figure
Quark Orbital-Angular-Momentum Distribution in the Nucleon
We introduce gauge-invariant quark and gluon angular momentum distributions
after making a generalization of the angular momentum density operators. From
the quark angular momentum distribution, we define the gauge-invariant and
leading-twist quark {\it orbital} angular momentum distribution . The
latter can be extracted from data on the polarized and unpolarized quark
distributions and the off-forward distribution in the forward limit. We
comment upon the evolution equations obeyed by this as well as other orbital
distributions considered in the literature.Comment: 8 pages, latex, no figures, minor corrections mad
Spin-Dependent Twist-Four Matrix Elements from g_1 Data in the Resonance Region
Matrix elements of spin-dependent twist-four operators are extracted from
recent data on the spin-dependent g_1 structure function of the proton and
deuteron in the resonance region. We emphasize the need to include the elastic
contributions to the first moments of the structure functions at Q^2 < 2 GeV^2.
The coefficients of the 1/Q^2 corrections to the Ellis-Jaffe sum rules are
found to be 0.04 \pm 0.02 and 0.03 \pm 0.04 GeV^2 for the proton and neutron,
respectively.Comment: 10 pages REVTeX, 4 figure
