g1(x) and g2(x) in the Meson Cloud Model

Abstract

We calculate the spin dependent structure functions g1(x) and g2(x) of the proton and neutron. Our calculation uses the meson cloud model of nucleon structure and includes the effects of kinematic terms which mix transverse and longitudinal spin components. We find small corrections to the nucleon structure functions, however these are significant for the neutron.
