We measured the spin asymmetry in the scattering of 100 GeV longitudinally-polarized muons on transversely polarized protons. The asymmetry was found to be compatible with zero in the kinematic range 0.006 < x < 0.6, 1 < Q2 < 30GeV2. From this result we derive the upper limits for the virtual photon-proton asymmetry A2, and for the spin structure function g2. For x < 0.15, A2 is significantly smaller than its positivity limit √R.
