Jefferson Lab has been at the forefront of a program to study the polarized structure of nucleons using electron scattering. Measurements of the spin dependent structure functions, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], have proven to be powerful tools in testing and understanding QCD. The neutron structure function [Formula: see text] has been measured extensively in Hall A at Jefferson Lab over a wide range of [Formula: see text], but data for [Formula: see text] remains scarce. This docment will discuss the [Formula: see text] experiment, which ran in Hall A at Jefferson Lab in the spring of 2012, and will provide the first measurement of [Formula: see text] in the resonance region; covering [Formula: see text] GeV 2 . The 0[Formula: see text] moment of [Formula: see text] provides a test of the Burkhardt-Cottingham sum rule, which states that the integral of [Formula: see text] over the Bjorken scaling variable [Formula: see text] goes to zero. This sum rule, valid for all values of [Formula: see text], has been satisfied for the neutron, but a violation is suggested for the proton at high [Formula: see text]. The 2[Formula: see text] moment allows for a benchmark test of [Formula: see text]PT at low [Formula: see text]. Specifically, the behavior of the longitudinally-transverse spin polarizability ([Formula: see text]), as [Formula: see text]PT calculations of this quantity deviate significantly from the measured neutron data. This document will discuss the current status of the analysis along with preliminary results.
