High-Energy Particle Collisions Research

We present a new measurement of the virtual photon proton asymmetry A1p from deep inelastic scattering of polarized muons on polarized protons in the kinematic range 0.0008 < x < 0.7 and 0.2 < Q2 < 100 GeV2. With this, the statistical uncertainty of our measurement has improved by a factor of 2 compared to our previous measurements. The spin-dependent structure function g1p is determined for the data with Q2 > 1 GeV2. A perturbative QCD evolution in next-to-leading order is used to determine g1p(x) at a constant Q2. At Q2 = 10 GeV2 we find, in the measured range, ∫0.0030.7g1P(x)dx=0.139±0.006 (stat) ±0.008 (syst) ±0.006(evol). The value of the first moment ГГ1P=∫01g1p(x)dx of g1p depends on the approach used to describe the behaviour of g1p at low x. We find that the Ellis-Jaffe sum rule is violated. With our published result for Γ1d we confirm the Bjorken sum rule with an accuracy of ≈ 15% at the one standard deviation level.
