Abstract

We summarize the measurements investigating the nucleon spin structure done at Jefferson Lab, a multi-GeV continuous electron beam facility located in Newport News, Virgina, USA. After motivating spin structure studies, we explain how Jefferson Lab uniquely contributes to them and describe the experimental program that was achieved with energies up to 6 GeV. We then discuss the continuation of this program at the higher energies now available thanks to the recent 12 GeV upgrade of Jefferson Lab's accelerator.
