Title: Experimental results on polarized structure functions in deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10193653

A summary is given of experimental results on spin structure functions of the proton g{sub 1}{sup p}(x,Q{sup 2}), deuteron g{sub 1}{sup d}(x,Q{sup 2}), and neutron g{sub 1}{sup n}(x,Q{sup 2}) as measured in deep inelastic scattering of polarized leptons from a polarized target. All results are consistent with the Bjorken sum rule predictions at the Q{sup 2} of each experiment. The data do not support the Ellis-Jaffe sum rule prediction for the proton which implies that the hencity carried by the strange quark may be nonzero and that the net quark helicity is smaller than expected from simple quark models.
