Abstract
The spin structure function of the neutron has been determined over the range 0.03<x<0.6 at an average of 2 (GeV/c by measuring the asymmetry in deep inelastic scattering of polarized electrons from a polarized target at energies between 19 and 26 GeV. The integral of the neutron spin structure function is found to be (x)dx=-0.022±0.011. Earlier reported proton results together with the Bjorken sum rule predict (x)dx=-0.059±0.019.
