Abstract

Recent progress from Jefferson Lab has significantly improved our understanding of the nucleon spin structure in the high-xx region. Results of a precision measurement of the neutron spin asymmetry, A1nA_1^n, in the high-xx (valence quark) region are discussed. The up and down quark spin distributions in the nucleon were extracted. A2nA_2^n was also measured. The results were used, in combination with existing data, to extract the second moment, d2nd_2^n. Preliminary results on A1pA_1^p and A1dA_1^d in the high-xx region have also become available. Finally, the results of a precision measurement of the g2g_2 structure function to study higher twist effects will be presented.
