Polarized deuteron structure functions at small x

Abstract

We investigate shadowing corrections to the polarized deuteron structure functions g1d and b1. In the kinematic domain of current fixed target experiments we observe that shadowing effects in g1d are approximately twice as large as for the unpolarized structure function F2d. Furthermore, we find that b1 is surprisingly large at x < 0.1 and receives dominant contributions from coherent double scattering.
