A Measurement of g2p at Low Q2

Jefferson Lab has been at the forefront of a program to study the polarized structure of nucleons using electron scattering. Measurements of the spin dependent structure functions, g1 and g2, have proven to be powerful tools in testing and understanding QCD. The neutron structure function g2n has been measured extensively in Hall A at Jefferson Lab over a wide range of Q2, but data for g2p remains scarce. This docment will discuss the g2p experiment, which ran in Hall A at Jefferson Lab in the spring of 2012, and will provide the first measurement of g2p in the resonance region; covering 0.02 < Q2 < 0.2 GeV2. The 0th moment of g2 provides a test of the Burkhardt-Cottingham sum rule, which states that the integral of g2 over the Bjorken scaling variable x goes to zero. This sum rule, valid for all values of Q2, has been satisfied for the neutron, but a violation is suggested for the proton at high Q2. The 2nd moment allows for a benchmark test of χPT at low Q2. Specifically, the behavior of the longitudinally-transverse spin polarizability (δLT), as χPT calculations of this quantity deviate significantly from the measured neutron data. This document will discuss the current status of the analysis along with preliminary results.
