We present the final results of the spin asymmetries A1 and the spin structure functions g1 of the proton and the deuteron in the kinematic range 0.0008<x<0.7 and 0.2<Q2<100GeV2. For the determination of A1, in addition to the usual method which employs inclusive scattering events and includes a large radiative background at low x, we use a new method which minimizes the radiative background by selecting events with at least one hadron as well as a muon in the final state. We find that this hadron method gives smaller errors for x<0.02, so it is combined with the usual method to provide the optimal set of results.

We present a next-to-leading order QCD analysis of the presently available data on the spin structure function g1 including the final data from the Spin Muon Collaboration. We present results for the first moments of the proton, deuteron, and neutron structure functions, and determine singlet and nonsinglet parton distributions in two factorization schemes. We also test the Bjorken sum rule and find agreement with the theoretical prediction at the level of 10%.

Results from SMC on the spin dependent structure function g1(p) of the proton

The spin-dependent structure function g 1 p has been measured by deep inelastic scattering of polarized muons off polarized protons at 190 GeV incident muon energy. The data cover a kinematic range of 1 < Q 2 < 80 GeV 2 and 0.003 < x < 0.6, where −Q 2 is the squared 4-momentum transfer and x is the Biorken scaling variable. The first moment Γ 1 p = ∫ 0 1 g 1 p d x = 0.152 ± 0.015( stat. ) ± 0.018( syst. ) is smaller than the prediction of the Ellis-Jaffe sum rule by one standard deviation. This result leads to a contribution of the quark spins to the proton spin of δΣ = 0.36 ± 0.21. All results presented here are preliminary.
