Precision Measurement of Neutron g<sub>2 </sub>and d<sub>2</sub> at Jefferson Lab
ORAL
Abstract
Serving as a precision measurement of the neutron spin structure function g2 and first time evaluation of the d2 at constant Q2 for Q2 > 1 GeV2/c2, the expeiment E12-06-121 was successfully completed in Hallc C of Jefferson Lab. While g2 contains information of quark-gluon correlations, d2, which is a linear combination of g1 and g2, is related to "color polarizabilities" and color Lorentz force acting on stuck quark. This experiement utilized the longitudinally polarized 10.4 GeV electron beam and a polarized helium-3 target which can be polarized both longitudinally and transversely. Aslo the large acceptance of the Super High Momentum Spectrometer (SHMS) combined with High Momentum Spectrometer (HMS) allows the measurment over nearly constan Q2 in a very broad xBj region. This work will present an overview of the experiment and preliminary results from data analysis.
