We have measured the spin-dependent structure function $g_1~p$ in inclusive deep-inelastic scattering of polarized muons off polarized protons, in the kinematic range $0.003 < x < 0.7$ and $1 GeV~2 < Q~2 < 60 GeV~2$. A next-to-leading order QCD analysis is used to evolve the measured $g_1~p(x,Q~2)$ to a fixed $Q~2_0$. The first moment of $g_1~p$ at $Q~2_0 = 10 GeV~2$ is $\Gamma~p = 0.136\pm 0.013(stat.) \pm 0.009(syst.)\pm 0.005(evol.)$. This result is below the prediction of the Ellis-Jaffe sum rule by more than two standard deviations. The singlet axial charge $a_0$ is found to be $0.28 \pm 0.16$. In the Adler-Bardeen factorization scheme, $\Delta g \simeq 2$ is required to bring $\Delta \Sigma$ in agreement with the Quark-Parton Model. A combined analysis of all available proton and deuteron data confirms the Bjorken sum rule.

We present a new measurement of the spin-dependent structure function g 1 d of the deuteron from deep inelastic scattering of 190 GeV polarized muons on polarized deuterons. The results are combined with our previous measurements of g 1 d . A perturbative QCD evolution in next-to-leading order is used to compute g 1 d ( x ) at a constant Q 2 . At Q 2 = 10 GeV 2 , we obtain a first moment Γ 1 d =∫ 1 d g 1 d d x =0.041±0.008, a flavour-singlet axial charge of the nucleon a 0 = 0.30 ± 0.08, and an axial charge of the strange quark a s = −0.09 ± 0.03. Using our earlier determination of Γ 1 p , we obtain Γ 1 p − Γ 1 m = 0.183 ± 0.035 at Q 2 = 10GeV 2 . This result is in agreement with the Bjorken sum rule which predicts Γ 1 p − Γ 1 n = 0.186 ± 0.002 at the same Q 2 .

We report on the first measurement of the spin-dependent structure function g 1 d of the deuteron in the deep inelastic scattering of polarised muons off polarised deuterons, in the kinematical range 0.006< x <0.6, 1 GeV 2 < Q 2 <30 GeV 2 . The first moment, Γ 1 d =ʃ 0 1 g 1 d d x=0.023±0.020 ( stat. ) ± 0.015 ( syst. ) , is smaller than the prediction of the Ellis-Jaffe sum rules. Using earlier measurements of g 1 p , we infer the first moment of the spin-dependent neutron structure function g 1 n . The difference Γ 1 p − Γ 1 n =0.20±0.05 (stat.) ± 0.04 (syst.) agrees with the prediction of the Bjorken sum rule, Γ 1 p − Γ 1 n =0.191±0.002.

A measurement of the spin asymmetry and determination of the structure function g(1) in deep inelastic muon proton scattering.

The spin asymmetry in deep inelastic scattering of longitudinally polarised muons by longitudinally polarised protons has been measured over a large x range (0.01< x <0.7). The spin-dependent structure function g 1 ( x ) for the proton has been determined and its integral over x found to be 0.114±0.012±0.026, in disagreement with the Ellis-Jaffe sum rule. Assuming the validity of the Bjorken sum rule, this result implies a significant negative value for the integral of g 1 for the neutron. These values for the integrals of g 1 lead to the conclusion that the total quark spin constitutes a rather small fraction of the spin of the nucleon.
