Abstract
We have examined the spin structure of the proton in the region of the nucleon resonances (1.085GeV<W<1.910GeV) at an average four momentum transfer of Q2=1.3GeV2. Using the Jefferson Lab polarized electron beam, a spectrometer, and a polarized solid target, we measured the asymmetries and to high precision, and extracted the asymmetries A1 and A2, and the spin structure functions g1 and g2. We found a notably nonzero A, significant contributions from higher-twist effects, and only weak support for polarized quark-hadron duality.
