Bjorken sum rule down to the elastic region from the lattice

We present a lattice determination of the Bjorken sum rule via a Feynman-Hellmann calculation of the polarised forward Compton amplitude. We evaluate the lowest moment of the nucleon’s polarised structure function, $g_1$, which we calculate over the range $0.5\lesssim Q^2\lesssim 8$ GeV${}^2$, covering both non-perturbative and perturbative regions. We compare our calculated moments with the Bjorken sum rule, and discuss implications for the calculation of higher-twist effects, as well as evaluations of ${\alpha }_s(Q^2)$ from hadronic quantities to complement phenomenological and other lattice methods.
