Measurements of the strangeness content of the proton through parity violating electron scattering at JLAB

Conference ·
OSTI ID:756763
The authors have measured the parity violating asymmetry in the cross section for elastic scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons from protons at 3.36 GeV incident energy and 0.48 GeV/c{sup 2} momentum transfer at Jefferson Lab. This asymmetry is {minus}14.5 {+-} 2.3 ppm, consistent with the Standard Model with no contribution from strange quarks. They extract the combination of strange form factors G{sub E}{sup s} + 0.39G{sub M}{sup s} = 0.023 {+-} 0.034(stat) {+-} 0.022(syst) {+-} 0.026{delta}G{sub E}{sup n}, where the last error arises from the neutron electric form factor.
