Measurement of the spin-dependent structure function $g_{1}(x)$ of the proton
Abstract : We have measured the spin-dependent structure function g_1^p of the proton in deep inelastic scattering of polarized muons off polarized protons, in the kinematic range 0.003<x<0.7 and 1\,\mbox{GeV}^2<Q^2<60\,\mbox{GeV}^2. Its first moment, \int_0^1 g_1^p(x) dx , is found to b...

Sumario: | Abstract : We have measured the spin-dependent structure function g_1^p of the proton in deep inelastic scattering of polarized muons off polarized protons, in the kinematic range 0.003<x<0.7 and 1\,\mbox{GeV}^2<Q^2<60\,\mbox{GeV}^2. Its first moment, \int_0^1 g_1^p(x) dx , is found to be 0.136 \pm 0.011\,(\mbox{stat.})\pm 0.011\ (\mbox{syst.}) at Q^2=10\,\mbox{GeV}^2. This value is smaller than the prediction of the Ellis--Jaffe sum rule by two standard deviations, and is consistent with previous measurements. A combined analysis of all available proton, deuteron and neutron data confirms the Bjorken sum rule to within 10\% of the theoretical value. |
