Abstract

We measured the spin asymmetry in the scattering of 100 GeV longitudinally-polarized muons on transversely polarized protons. The asymmetry was found to be compatible with zero in the kinematic range 0.006 <x <0.6, 1 <Q2 <30 GeV2. From this result we derive the upper limits for the virtual photon-proton asymmetry A2, and for the spin structure function g2. For x <0.15, A2 is significantly smaller than its positivity limit √R. © 1994.
