Diffraction driven steep rise of spin structure function gLT= g1+ g2 at small x and DIS sum rules
We derive a unitarity relationship between the spin structure function g LT( x, Q 2)= g 1( x, Q 2)+ g 2( x, Q 2), the LT interference diffractive structure function and the spin-flip coupling of the pomeron to nucleons. Our diffractive mechanism gives rise to a dramatic small- x rise g LT (x,Q 2)∼g...
