10 Analysis cont’d For Halls A and C: Measure both A || and A  to extract both A 1 and A 2 from data Unpolarized structure functions F 1, R from parametrizations of world data (in particular Hall C) Hall A measures directly cross section difference - can extract g 1,2 ( 3 He) directly without using these parametrizations

37 Conclusion A very precise data set on A 1, A 2, g 1 and g 2 covering a large kinematic range in x and Q 2 has been collected at Jefferson Lab. Several analyses are completed and have been published. Several data sets are still under analysis. Future experiments (both planned and already approved) using up to 6 GeV beam energy will continue to study the spin structure of the nucleon. A truly exciting program lies ahead of us with the 12 GeV electron beam at Jefferson Lab.
