The inclusive double-spin asymmetry, A1p, has been measured at COMPASS in deep-inelastic polarised muon scattering off a large polarised NH3 target. The data, collected in the year 2007, cover the range Q2 > 1 (GeV / c)2, 0.004 < x < 0.7 and improve the statistical precision of g1p (x) by a factor of two in the region x < 0.02. The new proton asymmetries are combined with those previously published for the deuteron to extract the non-singlet spin-dependent structure function g1NS (x, Q2). The isovector quark density, Δ q3 (x, Q2), is evaluated from a NLO QCD fit of g1NS. The first moment of Δ q3 is in good agreement with the value predicted by the Bjorken sum rule and corresponds to a ratio of the axial and vector coupling constants | gA / gV | = 1.28 ± 0.07 (stat .) ± 0.10 (syst.). © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
