Probing nucleon strangeness with parity violating electron scattering

Conference ·
OSTI ID:758883
The electromagnetic and weak neutral currents display different sensitivities to various strange quark matrix elements of the nucleon. Measurements of the parity-violating electron-proton and electron-nucleus asymmetries at intermediate energies could allow one to extract limits on the nucleon's strange-quark form factors. The prospects for deriving such constraints from present and approved experiments at MIT-Bates and CEBAF, as well as the implications of such measurements for models of nucleon strangeness, are discussed.
