Abstract
We present a computation of nucleon mass corrections to nucleon struct ure functions for polarized deep-inelastic scattering. We perform a fi t to existing data including mass corrections at first order in m(2)/Q (2) and we study the effect of these corrections on physically interes ting quantities. We conclude that mass corrections are generally small , and compatible with current estimates of higher twist uncertainties, when available. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
