Deuteron spin structure functions in the resonance and deep inelastic scattering
regions
We derive relations between spin-dependent nuclear and nucleon $g_1$ and $g_2$ structure functions within the nuclear impulse approximation, which are valid at all $Q^2$, and in both the resonance and deep inelastic regions. We apply the formalism to the specific case of the deuteron, which is often used as a source of neutron structure information, and compare the size of the nuclear corrections calculated using exact kinematics and using approximations applicable at large $Q^2$. © 2008 The American Physical Society.
