Spin dependent structure function g2(x) in quark-parton model. Possible interpretation and numerical estimates

Abstract

It is shown that in the special infinite momentum frame where photon has pure transverse components at P→∞ the spin-dependent deep inelastic structure function g2(x) has a reasonable interpretation in terms of quark-parton wave functions, whereas in the conventional frame where photon has pure z-component the parton model fails for g2(x).The spin dependent structure functions g1(x) and g2(x) have been calculated in the relativistic quark model constructed in such frame. The results indicate significant twist-3 contribution.
