We present precision measurements of the target and beam-target spin asymmetries from neutral pion electroproduction in deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) using the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) at Jefferson Lab. We scattered 6-GeV, longitudinally polarized electrons off longitudinally polarized protons in a cryogenic 14 NH 3 target, and extracted double and single target spin asymmetries for ep→ e′ π 0 X in multidimensional bins in four-momentum transfer (1.0< Q 2< 3.2 GeV 2), Bjorken-x (0.12< x< 0.48), hadron energy fraction (0.4< z< 0.7), transverse pion momentum (0< P T< 1.0 GeV), and azimuthal angle ϕ h between the lepton scattering and hadron production planes. We extracted asymmetries as a function of both x and P T, which provide access to transverse-momentum distributions of longitudinally polarized quarks. The double spin asymmetries depend weakly on P T. The sin 2ϕ h moments are zero within uncertainties, which is consistent with the expected suppression of the Collins fragmentation function. The observed sin ϕ h moments suggest that quark gluon correlations are significant at large x.
