Hi Whit,

I suggest adding an explanation of what d2 is. See my add-on comments.

The quantity $d_2$, is a measure of the average restoring Lorentz  
color force experienced by a quark inside a polarized nucleon  after  
it is struck by a virtual photon in electron Deep Inelastic Scattering  
(DIS).
