Bjorken sum rule down to the elastic region from the lattice
Abstract
We present a lattice determination of the Bjorken sum rule via a Feynman-Hellmann calculation of the polarised forward Compton amplitude. We evaluate the lowest moment of the nucleon's polarised structure function, g1, which we calculate over the range 0.5≲ Q2 ≲ 8 GeV2, covering both non-perturbative and perturbative regions. We compare our calculated moments with the Bjorken sum rule, and discuss implications for the calculation of higher-twist effects, as well as evaluations of αs(Q2) from hadronic quantities to complement phenomenological and other lattice methods.

AB - We present a lattice determination of the Bjorken sum rule via a Feynman-Hellmann calculation of the polarised forward Compton amplitude. We evaluate the lowest moment of the nucleon's polarised structure function, g_1, which we calculate over the range 0.5≲ Q^2 ≲ 8 GeV^2, covering both non-perturbative and perturbative regions. We compare our calculated moments with the Bjorken sum rule, and discuss implications for the calculation of higher-twist effects, as well as evaluations of α_s(Q^2) from hadronic quantities to complement phenomenological and other lattice methods.
