    We report on a precision measurement of the neutron spin structure function g1ng^n_1g1n​ using deep inelastic scattering of polarized electrons by polarized ^3He. For the kinematic range 0.014<x<0.7 and 1 (GeV/c)^2< Q^2< 17 (GeV/c)^2, we obtain ∫0.0140.7g1n(x)dx=−0.036±0.004(stat)±0.005(syst)\int^{0.7}_{0.014} g^n_1(x)dx = -0.036 \pm 0.004 (stat) \pm 0.005 (syst)∫0.0140.7​g1n​(x)dx=−0.036±0.004(stat)±0.005(syst) at an average Q2=5(GeV/c)2Q^2=5 (GeV/c)^2Q2=5(GeV/c)2. We find relatively large negative values for g1ng^n_1g1n​ at low xxx. The results call into question the usual Regge theory method for extrapolating to x=0 to find the full neutron integral ∫01g1n(x)dx\int^1_0 g^n_1(x)dx∫01​g1n​(x)dx, needed for testing quark-parton model and QCD sum rules.
