Precision Determination of the Neutron Spin Structure Function g1n
read the original abstract
We report on a precision measurement of the neutron spin structure function $g^n_1$ using deep inelastic scattering of polarized electrons by polarized ^3He. For the kinematic range 0.014<x<0.7 and 1 (GeV/c)^2< Q^2< 17 (GeV/c)^2, we obtain $\int^{0.7}_{0.014} g^n_1(x)dx = -0.036 \pm 0.004 (stat) \pm 0.005 (syst)$ at an average $Q^2=5 (GeV/c)^2$. We find relatively large negative values for $g^n_1$ at low $x$. The results call into question the usual Regge theory method for extrapolating to x=0 to find the full neutron integral $\int^1_0 g^n_1(x)dx$, needed for testing quark-parton model and QCD sum rules.

Insight on confinement from the QCD effective charge
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.
