description

The helicity structure function of the nucleon has been calculated for the constituent quark model and compared to the prediction of the Drell-Hearn-Gerasimov sum rule. The multipole decomposition of the sum rule shows large cancellations between different resonances. The small isoscalar-isovector contribution is related to the admixture of aD-state (“bag deformation”) in the nucleon's wave function. The calculations indicate a relatively slow saturation of this part of the sum rule with excitation energy.
