Abstract
He3 spin-dependent structure functions, g13(x) and g23(x), which parametrize the hadronic tensor in polarized deep-inelastic scattering, were evaluated within the Poincaré-covariant light-front framework. The Bakamjian-Thomas construction of the Poincaré generators allows us to make use of a realistic He3 wave function, obtained from refined nuclear phenomenological potentials. The same approach was already successfully applied to the He3 and He4 unpolarized deep-inelastic scattering. To investigate the neutron polarized structure functions, g1n and g2n, a readily implementable procedure aimed at extracting the neutron spin structure functions from those of He3 is shown to hold. Moreover, the first moment of g13(x) was evaluated, aiming at providing a valuable check of the Bjorken sum rule. The present analysis is relevant for experiments involving polarized beams planned at future facilities such as electron ion colliders.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
