Description

The MOLLER experiment is a >$40M USD experiment expected to run in 2026. This experiment has a large Canadian contribution, to both the spectrometer and detector systems. The experiment utilizes parity-violation in the weak interaction to measure the asymmetry between longitudinally polarized electrons in the positive and negative helicity states. The electrons scatter from electrons in liquid hydrogen, are collimated and bent through the spectrometer system to the main detector array. There are 224 integrating quartz detectors in the array. In addition there are a set of tracking detectors to study backgrounds and determine the acceptance. In fact, the whole accelerator is part of the experiment, with beam position and charge monitors throughout the beamline serving to study helicity-correlated backgrounds. In this talk I will describe the goals of the MOLLER experiment and its design and provide a status, in particular of the spectrometer and detector systems.
