Abstract

The evolution of the Bjorken integral over the low Q2 range of 0.17-1.10 GeV2 was investigated. The Bjorken integral was extracted from inclusive scattering of polarized electrons by polarized protons, deuterons and 3He, for the region in which integral was dominated by nucleon resonances. The nonsinglet twist-4 matrix element f2 was also extracted. It was found that that f2p-n was small and the total higher twist contribution was compatible with zero.
