Abstract The ratio g 1 F 1 has been measured over the range 0.03 g 1 F 1 to be consistent with no Q2-dependence at fixed x in the deep-inelastic region Q2 > 1 (GeV/c)2. A trend is observed for g 1 F 1 to decrease at lower Q2. Fits to world data with and without a possible Q2-dependence in g 1 F 1 are in agreement with the Bjorken sum rule, but Δq is substantially less than the quark-parton model expectation.
