Measurements are reported of the proton and deuteron spin structure functions g1 at beam energies of 29.1, 16.2, and 9.7 GeV and g2 at a beam energy of 29.1 GeV. The integrals of g1 over x have been evaluated at fixed Q**2 = 3 (GeV/c)**2 using the full data set. The Q**2 dependence of the ratio g1/F1 was studied and found to be small for Q**2 > 1 (GeV/c)**2. Within experimental precision the g2 data are well-described by the Wandzura-Wilczek twist-2 contribution. Twist-3 matrix elements were extracted and compared to theoretical predictions. The asymmetry A2 was measured and found to be significantly smaller than the positivity limit for both proton and deuteron targets. A2 for the proton is found to be positive and inconsistent with zero. Measurements of g1 in the resonance region show strong variations with x and Q**2, consistent with resonant amplitudes extracted from unpolarized data. These data allow us to study the Q**2 dependence of the first moments of g1 below the scaling region.

  1. Insight on confinement from the QCD effective charge

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.5 of 10

    Assigning the imaginary poles of α_g1 to parton propagators produces long-distance damping e^{-Λ_s|x|/√2}|x|^{-5/2+d_a}, interpreting confinement as Green's-function suppression.

  2. The color force acting on a quark in the pion and nucleon

    hep-ph 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    In the instanton liquid model, the color force on a struck quark in the pion and nucleon is derived from twist-3 operators, related to gravitational and transversity form factors, and mapped in the transverse plane wi...

  3. Structure of lightest nuclei in the visible Universe

    hep-ph 2025-07 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    A two-cluster light-front model with three fitted parameters reproduces several deuteron observables, while the hidden-color mixture used to explain them is not explicitly computed.

  4. NNLO Determination of Polarized Parton Distribution Functions with Higher-Twist and Target-Mass Corrections

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 4.0 of 10

    KLS26 is an NNLO polarized PDF set from inclusive DIS that includes TMC, additive and multiplicative higher-twist terms, and positivity, with the largest NNLO shifts in the strange-quark helicity distribution.

  5. Toward Precision Helicity PDFs from Global DIS and SIDIS Fits with Projected EIC Measurements

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Projected EIC pion and kaon SIDIS measurements would substantially reduce the uncertainties on the proton's sea-quark and gluon helicity distributions, most strongly at small momentum fractions.

  6. Global analyses of helicity-dependent parton distribution functions

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 2.0 of 10

    Modern global QCD analyses agree that up-quark helicity is positive and down-quark helicity negative, with positive gluon polarisation at moderate x, while the full gluon spin moment remains limited by the unmeasured ...
