Abstract

It is shown that the nuclear effects playing a relevant role in Deep Inelastic Scattering of polarized electrons by polarized 3He are mainly those arising from the effective proton and neutron polarizations generated by the S' and D waves in 3He. A simple and reliable equation relating the neutron, g1n, and 3He, g13, spin structure functions is proposed. It is shown that the measurement of the first moment of the 3He structure function can provide a significant check of the Bjorken Sum Rule.
