Overview of the MOLLER experiment

ORAL

Abstract

The MOLLER experiment will make use of parity violating electron scattering to improve the determination of the weak charge of the electron by a factor of 5 compared to E158 (2% statistical precision). This measurement can then be used to directly determine the weak mixing angle at low momentum transfer, allowing us to explore a unique portion of the Beyond the Standard Model phase space. The measurement is complementary to the High Luminosity LHC upgrade and will be able to reach a mass of approximately 27 TeV for the lepton-lepton interaction term. In the talk, I will report on the status and selected technical challenges of the experimental design that will enable such a high precision measurement.
