Abstract
We have measured the ratio (gi) /F(gi) over the range 0.029 ( x ( 0.8 and 1.3 (Q+/- ( 10 (GeV/c) using deep-inelastic scattering of polarized electrons from polarized ammonia. An evaluation of the integral fo g+/_ (x, Q2) dx at fixed Q2 = 3 (GeV/c)2 yields 0.127 +/- 0.004(stat) +/- 0.010(syst), in agreement
with previous experiments, but well below the Ellis-Jaffe sum rule prediction of 0.160 +/- 0.006. In the
quark-parton model, this implies Aq = 0.27 +/- 0.10.
