Abstract

The spin structure function of the neutron g₁ⁿ has been determined over the range 0.03 < x < 0.6 at an average Q² of 2 (GeV/c)² by measuring the asymmetry in deep inelastic scattering of polarized electrons from a polarized ³He target at energies between 19 and 26 GeV. The integral of the neutron spin structure function is found to be f-¹₀ gⁿ₁(x)dx = -0.022 ± 0.011. Earlier reported proton results together with the Bjorken sum rule predict f-¹₀ gⁿ₁(x)dx = -0.059 ± 0.019.
