Description
The upcoming MOLLER (Measurement Of a Lepton Lepton Electroweak Reaction) experiment at Jefferson Lab will provide a precision measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry in polarized electron-electron scattering. This should yield the most precise measurement of the weak mixing angle at low energy, and would be sensitive to new physics contributions in the interference between the neutral current and electromagnetic amplitudes as small as 0.1% of the Fermi constant. This would provide discovery reach for new physics in flavor and CP-conserving processes at the multi-TeV scale.
