Tensor-structure sum rules for spin-1 targets at all Q2
Abstract
We derive a family of sum rules for the tensor structure functions of targets with spin one or higher, rooted in exact Siegert relations. The mixed rank-two TT--LT degeneracy combines amplitudes of opposite crossing parity and, under the superconvergence assumption, gives ∫01 d x [b2(x,Q2)−3b4(x,Q2)]=0 in the Hoodbhoy--Jaffe--Manohar (HJM) basis. At large Q2, the protected moment agrees with Detmold's target-mass-complete twist-two OPE; in the strict Bjorken projection, and if b4 is neglected, it reduces to the Efremov--Teryaev (ET)-type condition ∫01 d x x b1(x)=0, whose measured-range footprint is consistent with the HERMES data. Two further rank-two combinations connect crossing-even amplitudes and determine the corresponding subtraction functions through weighted HJM moments. The protected combination can be isolated through separated tensor LT and TT responses, providing a direct experimental strategy for JLab and, ultimately, a future EIC.

AB - We derive a family of sum rules for the tensor structure functions of targets with spin one or higher, rooted in exact Siegert relations. The mixed rank-two TT--LT degeneracy combines amplitudes of opposite crossing parity and, under the superconvergence assumption, gives ∫_0^1 d x [b_2(x,Q^2)−3b_4(x,Q^2)]=0 in the Hoodbhoy--Jaffe--Manohar (HJM) basis. At large Q^2, the protected moment agrees with Detmold's target-mass-complete twist-two OPE; in the strict Bjorken projection, and if b_4 is neglected, it reduces to the Efremov--Teryaev (ET)-type condition ∫_0^1 d x x b_1(x)=0, whose measured-range footprint is consistent with the HERMES data. Two further rank-two combinations connect crossing-even amplitudes and determine the corresponding subtraction functions through weighted HJM moments. The protected combination can be isolated through separated tensor LT and TT responses, providing a direct experimental strategy for JLab and, ultimately, a future EIC.
