Spin physics at the S pin M uon C ollaboration

This text discusses early measurements of the spin structure function in high-energy scattering experiments, such as the Spin Muon Collaboration (SMC) and the EMC collaboration at CERN. It covers topics such as flavor singlet and non-singlet components, Bjorken sum rule, and the role of orbital momentum in the nucleon spin. The text also mentions advancements in experimental setups and polarization techniques.

  8. Private conversation (~ end 1989) with B.Jaffe: “I have practiced QCD for so many years… our Sum Rule cannot be that wrong” 8 Alain Magnon

  9. Phone call from V.W.Hughes (~ end 1989): • “I do not exclude that the EMC measurement • is in error” • I am setting up SMC with several upgrades: • An improved beam line and beam definition • A new PT magnet solenoid of excellent uniformity • with a transverse dipole to reverse spin more often • A beam polarimeter to measure Pm • Polarized protons and deuterons to measure also the • neutron and verify the Bjorken Sum Rule • “Similar project are launched at SLAC and DESY” • Would you join SMC ? (I did in 1991) 9 Alain Magnon

Enhanced deuteron polarization @ SMC It was found - “ intervention by Y.Kisselev on the regulator circuit of the HV supply of the mwave source” - that a significant increase in deuteron polarization is obtained by modulating rapidly the polarizing mwave frequency over a range of ~30 MHz With FM With FM 0.01 No FM F- F+ 14 Alain Magnon
