Abstract

We present a precise measurement of the proton longitudinal double-spin asymmetry A₁ ^p and the proton spin-dependent structure function g₁ ^p at photon virtualities 0.006(GeV/c)²<Q²<1(GeV/c)² in the Bjorken x range of 4×10⁻⁵<x<4×10⁻². The results are based on data collected by the COMPASS Collaboration at CERN using muon beam energies of 160GeV and 200GeV. The statistical precision is more than tenfold better than that of the previous measurement in this region. In the whole range of x, the measured values of A₁ ^p and g₁ ^p are found to be positive. It is for the first time that spin effects are found at such low values of x.
