Gold-plated moments of nucleon structure functions in baryon chiral perturbation theory

Abstract

We obtain leading- and next-to-leading order predictions of chiral perturbation theory for several prominent moments of nucleon structure functions. These free-parameter free results turn out to be in overall agreement with the available empirical information on nearly all of the considered moments, in the region of low-momentum transfer ($Q^2<0.3$ GeV${}^2$). Especially surprising is the situation for the spin polarizability ${\delta }_{LT}$, which thus far was not reproducible in chiral perturbation theory for proton and neutron simultaneously. This problem, known as the "${\delta }_{LT}$ puzzle," is not seen in the present calculation.
