Abstract

Final results are presented from the inclusive measurement of deep-inelastic polarised-muon scattering on longitudinally polarised deuterons using a6LiD target., The data were taken at 160 GeV beam energy and the results are shown for the kinematic range 1(GeV/c)2<;Q2<100(GeV/c)2in photon virtuality 0.004<;x<;0.7 in the Bjorken scaling variable and W>4GeV/c2in the mass of the hadronic final state., The deuteron double-spin asymmetry A1 dand the deuteron longitudinal-spin structure function g1 dare presented in bins of x and Q2., Towards lowest accessible values of x g1 ddecreases and becomes consistent with zero within uncertainties., The presented finalg1 dvalues together with the recently published final g1 pvalues of COMPASS are used to again evaluate the Bjorken sum rule and perform the QCD fit to the g1world data at next-to-leading order of the strong coupling constant., In both cases changes in central values of the resulting numbers are well within statistical uncertainties., The flavour-singlet axial charge a0 which is identified in the MS‾renormalisation scheme with the total contribution of quark helicities to the nucleon spin is extracted at next-to-leading order accuracy from only the COMPASS deuteron data: a0(Q2=3(GeV/c)2)=0.32±0.02stat±0.04syst±0.05evol., Together with the recent results on the proton spin structure function g1 p the results on g1 dconstitute the COMPASS legacy on the measurements of g1through inclusive spin-dependent deep inelastic scattering.
