Parity-Violating Elastic Scattering of Electrons from Protons
• Two applications we will study tonight:– Strange quark structure of the nucleon.– Tests of standard electroweak theory.
ElectromagneticElastic Electron Scattering
• Scattering cross-section depends on two “form factors” GE(Q2), GM(Q2).
• At small Q2, form factors are Fourier transforms of spatial distributions of charge and magnetization densities in the proton.

• Qweak measurement will provide a stringent stand alone constraint on Lepto-quark based extensions to the SM.
• Qpweak (semi-leptonic) and Moller (pure leptonic) together make a
powerful program to search for and identify new physics.

Upcoming Data-Taking:The year of G0
In coming years, G0 will run at backward angles in order to truly separate the electric and magnetic form factors.
• March 15 – April 29, 2006: Q2 = 0.6 GeV2.• July 21-Sept. 1, 2006: Q2 = 0.23 GeV2.• Sept. 22-Dec. 22 2006: Q2 = 0.6 GeV2.• 2007: finish low Q2.

Quartz Scanner Detector
• Scans in 2D through scattered beam near the main Quartz detector for a variety of purposes:– Fiducialization and “light map” of main detector– backgrounds (inelastics)– confirm linearity of main detector response with beam current– Q2 determination
• Similar technique used in both E158 and HAPPEx• UWinnipeg RTI proposal to NSERC submitted Oct. 2005.

G0 Backward Angle:Parasitic Physics
• Axial structure of the nucleon and the anapole moment.
• Parity-violation in electro and photo excitation of the Delta resonance (inelastic electron and photopion asymmetries).
• Beam normal asymmetries and two-photon exchange for form factor systematics (theory: Blunden et al).
