The neutron longitudinal and transverse asymmetries A n 1 and A n 2 have been extracted from deep inelastic scattering of polarized electrons by a polarized 3 He target at incident energies of 19.42, 22.66 and 25.51 GeV. The measurement allows for the determination of the neutron spin structure functions g n 1 (x; Q 2 ) and g n 2 (x; Q 2 ) over the range 0:03 < x < 0:6 at an average Q 2 of 2 (GeV=c) 2 . The data are used for the evaluation of the Ellis-Ja e and Bjorken sum rules. The neutron spin structure function g n 1 (x; Q 2 ) is small and negative within the range of our measurement, yielding an integral R 0:6 0:03 g n 1 (x)dx = 0:028 0:006 (stat) 0:006 (syst). Assuming Regge behavior at low x, we extract n 1 =
The spin structure function of the neutron gr 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 fo. nd to be Ji g?(x) dx =-0.022 f 0.011. Earlier reported proton results 2. .- .-_together with the Bjorken sum rule predict &r g?(x) dx =-0.059 f 0.019.
The proton and deuteron structure functions F p 2 and F d 2 are measured in inelastic muon scattering with an average beam energy of 470 GeV. The data were taken at Fermilab experiment E665 during 1991-92 using liquid hydrogen and deuterium targets. The F2 measurements are reported in the range 0:0008 < x < 0 : 6 and 0:2 < Q 2 < 75 GeV 2. These are the rst precise measurements of F2 in the low x and Q 2 range of the data. In the high x range of the data where they overlap in x and Q 2 with the measurements from NMC, the two measurements are in agreement. The E665 data also overlap in x with the HERA data, and there is a smooth connection in Q 2 between the two data sets. At high Q 2 the E665 measurements are consistent with QCDevolved leading twist structure function models. The data are qualitatively described 2 by structure function models incorporating the hadronic nature of the photon at low Q 2. The Q 2 and the W dependence of the data measure the transition in the nature of the photon between a point-like probe at high Q 2 and a hadronic object at low Q 2 .
