Abstract

The spin structure functions g<sub>1</sub> for the proton and the deuteron have been measured over a wide kinematic range in x and Q<sup>2</sup> using 1.6 and 5.7 GeV longitudinally polarized electrons incident upon polarized NH<sub>3</sub> and ND<sub>3</sub> targets at Jefferson Lab. Scattered electrons were detected in the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer, for 0.05<Q<sup>2</sup><5 GeV<sup>2</sup> and W<3 GeV. The first moments of g<sub>1</sub> for the proton and deuteron are presented – both have a negative slope at low Q<sup>2</sup>, as predicted by the extended Gerasimov–Drell–Hearn sum rule. The first extraction of the generalized forward spin polarizability of the proton γ<sup>p0</sup> is also reported. This quantity shows strong Q<sup>2</sup> dependence at low Q<sup>2</sup>. Our analysis of the Q<sup>2</sup> evolution of the first moment of g1 shows agreement in leading order with Heavy Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory. However, a significant discrepancy is observed between the γ<sup>p0</sup> data and Chiral Perturbation calculations for γ<sup>p0</sup>, even at the lowest Q<sup>2</sup>.
