Accurate Determination of the Neutron Skin Thickness of ^{208}Pb through Parity-Violation in Electron Scattering.

D. Adhikari, +104 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the parity-violating asymmetry in the elastic scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons from 208 Pb was measured, leading to an extraction of the neutral weak form factor F = 0.0036(exp)±0.0013(theo)
Journal ArticleDOI

First Determination of the Weak Charge of the Proton

TL;DR: The Qweak experiment has measured the parity-violating asymmetry in polarized e-p elastic scattering at Q2 = 0.025(GeV/c)2, employing 145 microamps of 89% longitudinally polarized electrons on a 34.4cm long liquid hydrogen target at Jefferson Lab.
Journal ArticleDOI

Precision Measurement of the Weak Charge of the Proton

TL;DR: In this paper, the weak charge of the proton was measured using parity-violating (PV) polarized electron-proton scattering asymmetry, and the value of Q_W^p was derived from the predicted neutral electroweak force.
Journal ArticleDOI

Measurement of parity violation in electron–quark scattering

D. Wang, +108 more
- 05 Feb 2014 - 
TL;DR: A measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry in electron–quark scattering yields a determination of 2C2u − C2d with a precision increased by a factor of five relative to the earlier result, providing evidence with greater than 95 per cent confidence that the C2q couplings are non-zero, as predicted by the electroweak theory.
Journal ArticleDOI

Precision measurement of the weak charge of the proton

TL;DR: The results show that precision parity-violating measurements enable searches for physics beyond the standard model that can compete with direct searches at high-energy accelerators and, together with astronomical observations, can provide fertile approaches to probing higher mass scales.
