The spin structure function of the neutron gn1 has been determined over range 0.03<x<0.6 at an average Q2 2 (GeV/c)2 by measuring asymmetry in deep inelastic scattering polarized electrons from a 3He target energies between 19 and 26 GeV. integral is found to be F10gn1(x)dx=-0.022±0.011. Earlier reported proton results together with Bjorken sum rule predict F10gn1(x)dx=-0.059±0.019.Received 1 April 1993DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.71.959©1993 American Physical Society

The charged pion form factor, ${F}_{\ensuremath{\pi}}({Q}^{2})$, is an important quantity that can be used to advance our knowledge of hadronic structure. However, the extraction ${F}_{\ensuremath{\pi}}$ from data requires a model ${}^{1}\mathrm{H}(e,{e}^{'}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+})n$ reaction and thus inherently dependent. Therefore, detailed description factor electroproduction obtained recently at Jefferson Lab presented, with particular focus given dominant uncertainties in this procedure....
