Parity-Violation With Electrons: Theoretical Perspectives
نویسنده
چکیده
I review recent progress and developments in parity-violating electron scattering as it bears on three topics: strange quarks and hadron structure, electroweak radiative corrections, and physics beyond the Standard Model. I also discuss related developments in parity-conserving scattering with transversely polarized electrons as a probe of two-photon processes. I conclude with a perspective on the future of the

Parity Violation effects in highly-charged ions
Parity-nonconserving (PNC) atomic effects originate from the electroweak interaction of atomic electrons with the nucleus via Z-boson exchange. Comparing experimental results with theoretical predictions of the standard model allows to search for ”new physics” beyond the standard model (e.g., a second Z-boson or new fermions) [1]. In the case of neutral atoms here is the discrepancy between the...
متن کاملA New Measurement of the Weak Mixing Angle
The E158 experiment at SLAC has made the first measurement of parity violation in electron-electron (Møller) scattering. We report a preliminary result using 50% of the accumulated data sample for the right-left parity-violating cross-section asymmetry (APV ) in the elastic scattering of 45 and 48 GeV polarized electron beams with unpolarized electrons in a liquid hydrogen target. We find APV =...
متن کاملModel - Independent Remarks Qn Electron - Quark Parity - Violating Neutral - Current Couplings
Present experiments on atomic parity-violation in bismuth and'on polarization asymmetry in electron-nucleon deep-inelastic scattering should allow determination of three out of four of the phenomenological parity violating Fermi-couplings of electrons to up and down quarks. The fourth may be obtained via measurement of atomic parity violation in deuterium (but not hydrogen). We also examine the...
متن کامل2 00 5 A luminosity monitor for the A 4 parity violation experiment at MAMI
A water Cherenkov luminosity monitor system with associated electronics has been developed for the A4 parity violation experiment at MAMI. The detector system measures the luminosity of the hydrogen target hit by the MAMI electron beam and monitors the stability of the liquid hydrogen target. Both is required for the precise study of the count rate asymmetries in the scattering of longitudinall...
متن کاملParity violation in quasifree electron scattering off the deuteron
For deuteron electroweak disintegration, parity violating effects are investigated which arise from the interference of γ and Z exchange as well as from the hadronic sector via a small parity violating component in the deuteron. The general formalism for the differential cross section and polarization observables of electromagnetic deuteron disintegration is extended to incorporate parity viola...
