摘要
We have measured the parity-violating electroweak asymmetry in the elastic scattering of polarized electrons from the proton. The result is A = -15.05 +/- 0.98(stat) +/- 0.56(syst) ppm at the kinematic point (theta (lab)) = 12.3 degrees and (Q(2)) = 0.477 (GeV/c)(2). Both errors are a factor of two smaller than those of the result reported previously. The value for the strange form factor extracted from the data is (G(E)(s) + 0.392 G(M)(s)) = 0.025 +/- 0.020 +/- 0.014. where the first error is experimental and the second arises from the uncertainties in electromagnetic form factors. This measurement is the first fixed-target parity violation experiment that used either a "strained" GaAs photocathode to produce highly polarized electrons or a Compton polarimeter to continuously monitor the electron beam polarization.
