Measurements of the Double-Spin Asymmetry A<sub>1</sub> on Helium-3: Toward a Precise Measurement of the Neutron A<sub>1</sub>

The spin structure of protons and neutrons has been an open question for nearly twenty-five years, after surprising experimental results disproved the simple model in which valence quarks were responsible for nearly 100% of the nucleon spin. Diverse theoretical approaches have been brought to bear o...
