The weak charge of the proton: a search for physics beyond the standard model

The Qweak experiment will provide the most precise determination of the proton’s weak charge Q^p_W by measuring the parity-violating asymmetry in elastic electron-proton scattering at low momentum transfer Q^2 = 0.0250 (GeV/c)^2. Qpw is related to the weak mixing angle sin^2\theta_W, a fundamental p...
