<div class=""><font style="font-style: normal; font-size: 14px;" class="">4- I would use “helicity” rather than “polarization” and add "in the proton”. My understanding is that “ polarization” in this context would mean “total angular momentum” of the object
that has some mass and since the down quark has large orbital angular momentum that cancels its helicity according to lattice QCD, I would choose “ helicity”.</font></div>

I have been invited to give a talk at the APS April meeting, session "Nucleon Structure at Large x", and today is the deadline for submitting abstracts. I drafted a short one below, please comment before 4pm if possible:</div>

The virtual photon asymmetry of the neutron $A_1^n$ is one of the fundamental quantities which can provide information about the spin structure of the nucleon. Value of $A_1^n$ at high $x_{Bj}$ is of particular interest because valence quark dominate in this
region, making it a relatively clean region to study the nucleon spin structure. The 6 GeV JLab result on $A_1^n$ showed that the down quark polarization is negative up to $x=0.61$, in contrast with pQCD predictions that it must turn positive and approaches
1 at $x\to 1$. In this talk I will report on a recently completed $A_1^n$ measurement using JLab 11 GeV beam and an upgraded polarized $^3$He target, that provided data up to $x=0.75$. </div>
