Abstract

A measurement of the virtual-photon asymmetry A₂(x,Q²) and of the spin-structure function g₂(x,Q²) of the proton are presented for the kinematic range 0.004<x<0.9 and 0.18 GeV²<Q²<20 GeV². The data were collected by the HERMES experiment at the HERA storage ring at DESY while studying inclusive deep-inelastic scattering of 27.6 GeV longitudinally polarized leptons off a transversely polarized hydrogen gas target. The results are consistent with previous experimental data from CERN and SLAC. For the x-range covered, the measured integral of g₂(x) converges to the null result of the Burkhardt-Cottingham sum rule. The x² moment of the twist-3 contribution to g₂(x) is found to be compatible with zero.

N2 - A measurement of the virtual-photon asymmetry A2(x,Q2) and of the spin-structure function g2(x,Q2) of the proton are presented for the kinematic range 0.00422<20 GeV2. The data were collected by the HERMES experiment at the HERA storage ring at DESY while studying inclusive deep-inelastic scattering of 27.6 GeV longitudinally polarized leptons off a transversely polarized hydrogen gas target. The results are consistent with previous experimental data from CERN and SLAC. For the x-range covered, the measured integral of g2(x) converges to the null result of the Burkhardt-Cottingham sum rule. The x2 moment of the twist-3 contribution to g2(x) is found to be compatible with zero.
