Abstract

"We present a new measurement of the longitudinal spin asymmetry Ad and the spin-dependent structure function g(1)(d) of the deuteron in the range 1 < Q(2) < 100 GeV2 and 0.004 < x < 0.7. The data were obtained by the COMPASS experiment at CERN using a 160 GeV polarised muon beam and a large polarised (LiD)-Li-6 target. The results are in agreement with those from previous experiments and improve considerably the statistical accuracy in the region 0.004 < x < 0.03. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved."
