Determination of the neutron spin structure function

Abstract

The spin structure function of the neutron, g{sub 1}{sup n}, has been determined over the range 0.03<0.6 at an average Q{sup 2} of 2 (GeV/c){sup 2} by measuring the asymmetry in deep inelastic scattering of polarized electrons from a polarized {sup 3}He target at energies between 19 and 26 GeV. The integral of the neutron spin structure function is found to be {integral}{sub 0}{sup 1}g{sub 1}{sup n}(x)dx=-0.022{+-}0.011. Earlier reported proton results together with the Bjorken sum rule predict {integral}{sub 0}{sup 1}g{sub 1}{sup n}(x)dx=-0.065{+-}0.019. (author) 22 refs.; 3 figs.
