    Parity Violation in Elastic Electron-Proton Scattering and the Proton's Strange Magnetic Form Factor
    (American Physical Society, 2000-02-07) Spayde, D.T.; Averett, T.; Barkhuff, D.; Beck, D.H.; Beise, E.J.; Benson, C.; Breuer, H.; Carr, R.; Covrig, S.; DelCorso, J.; Dodson, G.; Dow, K.; Eppstein, C.; Farkhondeh, M.; Filippone, B.W.; Frazier, P.; Hasty, R.; Ito, T.M.; Jones, C.E.; Korsch, W.; Kowalski, S.; Lee, P.; Maneva, E.; McCarty, K.; McKeown, R.D.; Mikell, J.; Mueller, B.; Naik, P.; Pitt, M.; Ritter, J.; Savu, V.; Sullivan, M.; Tieulent, R.; Tsentalovich, E.; Wells, S.P.; Yang, B.; Zwart, T.; SAMPLE Collaboration
    We report a new measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry in elastic electron scattering from the proton at backward scattering angles. This asymmetry is sensitive to the strange magnetic form factor of the proton as well as electroweak axial radiative corrections. The new measurement of A = -4.92±0.61±0.73ppm provides a significant constraint on these quantities. The implications for the strange magnetic form factor are discussed in the context of theoretical estimates for the axial corrections.

    The ( e,e′p) reaction was studied on targets of C, Fe, and Au at momentum transfers squared Q2 of 0.6, 1.3, 1.8, and 3.3 GeV2 in a region of kinematics dominated by quasifree electron-proton scattering. Missing energy and missing momentum distributions are reasonably well described by plane wave impulse approximation calculations with Q2 and A dependent corrections that measure the attenuation of the final state protons.
