We have measured the ratio g1pF1p over the range 0.029<x<0.8 and 1.3<Q2<10 (GeV/c)2 using deep-inelastic scattering of polarized electrons from polarized ammonia. An evaluation of the integral ∫01g1p(x, Q2)dx at fixed Q2=3 (GeV/c)2 yields 0.127±0.004(stat)±0.010(syst), in agreement with previous experiments, but well below the Ellis-Jaffe sum rule prediction of 0.160±0.006. In the quark-parton model, this implies Δq=0.27±0.10.

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.
