From the Q2 dependence of the lowest moment we extract matrix elements of twist-4 operators, and determine the color electric and magnetic polarizabilities of the proton to be χE = 0.026 ± 0.015 (stat.) ± 0.021 0.024 (sys.) and χB = ?0.013 ? 0.007 (stat.) ? 0.010 0.012 (sys.), respectively. PACS numbers: 12.38.Aw, 12.38.Qk, 13.60.Hb Measurements of spin-dependent structure functions of the proton reveal fundamental information about the pro- ton’s quark and gluon structure. In the quark-parton model, the g1 structure function is interpreted in terms of distributions of quarks carrying light-cone momentum fraction x, with spins aligned versus anti-aligned with that of the nucleon. The lowest moment, or integral over x, of g1 also determines the total spin carried by quarks in the nucleon. Although most structure function studies have focused on the scaling regime at high four-momentum transfer squared, Q2, the behavior of g1 and its moments in the transition region at intermediate Q 2 (～ 1 GeV2) can reveal rich information about the long-distance structure of the nucleon. One example of the complexity of this region is the transition from the Bjorken or Ellis-Jaffe sum rule
