    (2004-03) Ito, T.M.; Averett, T.; Barkhuff, D.; Batigne, G.; Beck, D.H.; Beise, E.J.; Blake, A.; Breuer, H.; Carr, R.; Clasie, B.; Covrig, S.; Danagoulian, A.; Dodson, G.; Dow, K.; Dutta, D.; Farkhondeh, M.; Filippone, B.W.; Franklin, W.; Furget, C.; Gao, H.; Gao, J.; Gustafsson, K.; Hannelius, L.; Hasty, R.; Hawthorne-Allen, A.M.; Herda, M.C.; Jones, C.E.; King, P.; Korsch, W.; Kowalski, S.; Kox, S.; Kramer, K.; Lee, P.; Liu, J.; Martin, J.W.; McKeown, R.D.; Mueller, B.; Pitt, M.L.; Plaster, B.; Quemener, G.; Real, J.

    We report on a new measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry in quasielastic electron scat- tering from the deuteron at backward angles at Q2 = 0.038 (GeV/c)2. This quantity provides a de- termination of the neutral weak axial vector form factor of the nucleon, which can potentially receive large electroweak corrections. The measured asymmetry A = −3.51 ± 0.57 (stat) ± 0.58 (sys) ppm is consistent with theoretical predictions. We also report on updated results of the previous experiment at Q2 = 0.091 (GeV/c)2, which are also consistent with theoretical predictions.

    We have measured parity-violating asymmetries in elastic electron-proton scattering over the range of momentum transfers 0.12 ≤ Q2 ≤ 1.0 GeV2. These asymmetries, arising from interference of the electromagnetic and neutral weak interactions, are sensitive to strange quark contributions to the currents of the proton. The measurements were made at JLab using a toroidal spectrom- eter to detect the recoiling protons from a liquid hydrogen target. The results indicate non-zero, Q2 dependent, strange quark contributions and provide new information beyond that obtained in previous experiments.

    We have measured parity-violating asymmetries in elastic electron-proton scattering over the range of momentum transfers 0.12≤Q2≤1.0  GeV2. These asymmetries, arising from interference of the electromagnetic and neutral weak interactions, are sensitive to strange-quark contributions to the currents of the proton. The measurements were made at Jefferson Laboratory using a toroidal spectrometer to detect the recoiling protons from a liquid hydrogen target. The results indicate nonzero, Q2 dependent, strange-quark contributions and provide new information beyond that obtained in previous experiments.

    We have measured the beam-normal single-spin asymmetry in elastic scattering of transversely polarized 3 GeV electrons from unpolarized protons at Q2=0.15, 0.25  (GeV/c)2. The results are inconsistent with calculations solely using the elastic nucleon intermediate state and generally agree with calculations with significant inelastic hadronic intermediate state contributions. An provides a direct probe of the imaginary component of the 2γ exchange amplitude, the complete description of which is important in the interpretation of data from precision electron-scattering experiments.
