Title: Measurement of the Proton and Deuteron Spin Structure Function {ital g}{sub 1} in the Resonance Region

Abstract

We have measured the proton and deuteron spin structure functions g{sup p}{sub 1} and g{sup d}{sub 1} in the region of the nucleon resonances for W{sup 2}{lt}5 GeV{sup 2} and Q{sup 2}{approx_equal}0.5 and Q{sup 2}{approx_equal}1.2 GeV{sup 2} by inelastically scattering 9.7 GeV polarized electrons off polarized {sup 15}NH{sub 3} and {sup 15}ND{sub 3} targets. We observe significant structure in g{sup p}{sub 1} in the resonance region. We have used the present results, together with the deep-inelastic data at higher W{sup 2}, to extract {Gamma}(Q{sup 2}){equivalent_to}0=g{sub 1}(x,Q{sup 2})dx. This is the first information on the low-Q{sup 2} evolution of {Gamma} toward the Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn limit at Q{sup 2}=0. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
