We propose a new precision measurement of parity-violating electron scattering on the proton at very low Q^2 and forward angles to challenge predictions of the Standard Model and search for new physics. A unique opportunity exists to carry…
The Qweak experiment which ran at Jefferson Lab in Newport News, VA, measured the weak charge of the proton $Q_W^p$ via elastic electron-proton scattering. Longitudinally polarized electrons were scattered from an unpolarized liquid…

A subset of results from the recently completed Jefferson Lab Qweak experiment are reported. This experiment, sensitive to physics beyond the Standard Model, exploits the small parity-violating asymmetry in elastic ep scattering to provide…
The Qweak experiment has measured the parity-violating asymmetry in polarized e-p elastic scattering at Q^2 = 0.025(GeV/c)^2, employing 145 microamps of 89% longitudinally polarized electrons on a 34.4cm long liquid hydrogen target at…

From a distance, the proton's weak charge is seen through the distorting effects of clouds of virtual particles. The effective weak charge can be calculated by starting with the measured weak coupling at the Z-pole and "running" the…
The Qweak experiment aims to measure the weak charge of the proton to 4% via the parity-violating asymmetry ($\sim$-200 ppb) in elastic e+p scattering. The scattering rate is largely influenced by five beam parameters: horizontal position…

We address the physics implications of a precision determination of the weak charge of the proton, QWP, from a parity violating elastic electron proton scattering experiment to be performed at the Jefferson Laboratory. We present the…
The MOLLER experiment will measure the weak charge of the electron, $Q^e_W = 1 - 4\sin^2\theta_W$, with a precision of 2.3% by measuring the parity-violating asymmetry in electron-electron (M\oller) scattering. This measurement will provide…
After almost five decades of study of parity violation in hadronic systems, the determination of the seven weak meson-nucleon couplings is still incomplete. Whereas parity violation in nuclear systems is complicated by the intricacies of…

We consider the dispersion correction to elastic parity violating electron-proton scattering due to \gammaZ exchange. In a recent publication, this correction was reported to be substantially larger than the previous estimates. In this…
The impact of atomic parity violation experiments on determination of the weak mixing parameter $\sin^2 \theta$ and the Peskin-Takeuchi parameters $S$ and $T$ is reassessed in the light of recent electroweak measurements at LEP, SLAC, and…
A high-power liquid hydrogen target was built for the Jefferson Lab Qweak experiment, which measured the tiny parity-violating asymmetry in $\vec{e}$p scattering at an incident energy of 1.16 GeV, and a Q$^2 = 0.025$ GeV$^{2}$. To achieve…
