An overview of the MOLLER experiment at Jefferson Lab
ORAL
Abstract
The MOLLER experiment aims to carry out a precise measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry from electron-electron scattering in Hall A at Jefferson Lab. The measured asymmetry will be used to precisely determine the weak charge of the electron to a precision of 2.4 % at an average Q2 of 0.0056 GeV2. This measurement results in an ultra-precise determination of the weak mixing angle, an important fundamental parameter of the Standard Model. The measurement will allow us to indirectly search for Physics Beyond the Standard Model, complementing direct searches at high-energy colliders. The experiment is fully funded and is currently in the construction and prototype testing phase. In this talk, I will give an overview of the science, describe the experimental apparatus, and report on the status of the MOLLER construction project.
