Spin asymmetriesA1of the proton and the deuteron in the lowxand lowQ2region from polarized high energy muon scattering

1999

We present the results of the spin asymmetries (Formula presented) of the proton and the deuteron in the kinematic region extending down to (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) The data were taken with a dedicated low x trigger, which required hadron detection in addition to the scattered muon, so as to reduce the background at low x. The results complement our previous measurements and the two sets are consistent in the overlap region. No significant spin effects are found in the newly explored region. © 1999 The American Physical Society.
