Description

The double logarithmic terms $α_{s} \ln^{2}x $ are important to predict precisely the small $x$ behavior of the spin structure function $g_{1}$. We numerically analyze the evolution of the flavor non-singlet $g_{1}$ including the all-order resummed effect of these terms. It is pointed out that the next-to-leading logarithmic corrections produce an unexpectedly large suppression factor over the experimentally accessible range of $x$ and $Q^{2}$. This implies that the next-to-leading logarithmic contributions are very important in order to obtain a definite prediction.
