Parity violation in elastic electron-proton scattering and the Proton's strange magnetic form factor
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a new measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry in elastic electron scattering from the proton at backward scattering angles. This asymmetry is sensitive to the strange magnetic form factor of the proton as well as electroweak axial radiative corrections. The new measurement of A = -4.92+/-0.61+/-0.73 ppm provides a significant constraint on these quantities. The implications for the strange magnetic form factor are discussed in the context of theoretical estimates for the axial corrections.

Parity Violating Electron Scattering on the Proton and Deuteron at Backward Angles
The parity violating asymmetry in quasielastic electron scattering from the deuteron at backward scattering angles has been recently measured for the first time. Combined with the previously performed similar measurement on the prbton, this measurement provides a determination of both the proton's strange magnetic form factor G'M and the axial vector e-N form factor GA. A preliminary analysis i...
متن کاملNew Measurement of Parity Violation in Elastic Electron-Proton Scattering and Implications for Strange Form Factors
We have measured the parity-violating electroweak asymmetry in the elastic scattering of polarized electrons from the proton. The result is A = −15.05±0.98(stat)± 0.56(syst) ppm at the kinematic point 〈θlab〉 = 12.3 and 〈Q2〉 = 0.477 (GeV/c). The value for the strange form factor (GE +0.392G s M )/(G p M/μp) = 0.069± 0.056± 0.039 is extracted from the data, where the first error is experimental a...
متن کاملThe G0 Parity Violation Experiment: Overview and Status after the First Commissioning Run
The basis of the G0 experiment is a parity-violating process giving access to the strange form factors of the proton. It requires the measurement of a set of asymmetries, in elastic electron scattering from hydrogen and quasi-elastic scattering from deuterium, at different Q2 and at different angles. The experimental site is the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab.), Newport Ne...
متن کاملThe Loop Corrections to the Parity-Violating Elastic Electron-Proton Scattering
Strangeness content is one of the most important questions in hadron structure because it sheds light on the role of the quark-anti quark sea in the ground state properties. One important tool is elastic parity-violating electron-proton scattering, which has been used to probe the the charge and magnetization distributions of the strange quark within the nucleon. At the tree level, the parity-v...
متن کاملStrange magnetism and the anapole structure of the proton.
The violation of mirror symmetry in the weak force provides a powerful tool to study the internal structure of the proton. Experimental results have been obtained that address the role of strange quarks in generating nuclear magnetism. The measurement reported here provides an unambiguous constraint on strange quark contributions to the proton's magnetic moment through the electron-proton weak ...
