Abstract

We present a measurement of semi-inclusive spin asymmetries for positively and negatively charged hadrons from deep inelastic scattering of polarised muons on polarised protons and deuterons in the range 0.003 < x < 0.7 and Q² > 1 GeV². Compared to our previous publication on this subject, with the new data the statistical errors have been reduced by nearly a factor of two. From these asymmetries and our inclusive spin asymmetries we determine the polarised quark distributions of valence quarks and non-strange sea quarks at Q² = 10 GeV². The polarised u valence quark distribution, Δu_υ(×), is positive and the polarisation increases with x. The polarised d valence quark distribution, Δd_υ(x), is negative and the non-strange sea distribution, Δq^-(x), is consistent with zero over the measured range of x. We find for the first moments (latin small letter esh)¹₀Δu_υ(x)d x = 0.77 ± 0.10 ± 0.08, (latin small letter esh)¹₀Δd_υ(x)d x = -0.52 ± 0.14 ± 0.09 and (latin small letter esh)¹₀Δq^-(x)d x = 0.01 ± 0.04 ± 0.03, where we assumed Δu^-(x) = Δd^-(x). We also determine for the first time the second moments of the valence distributions (latin small letter esh)¹₀xΔq_υ(x)d x.
