Description
Weak neutral current interactions with charged leptons have offered unique
opportunities to study novel aspects of hadronic structure and search for
physics beyond the standard model. These studies in the medium energy
community have been primarily through parity-violating processes with electron
beams, but with the possibility of polarized positron beams, new and
complementary observables can be considered in experiments analogous to
their electron counterparts. Such studies include elastic proton,
deep inelastic, and electron target scattering. In this talk, potential
positron neutral current experiments will be discussed along with their
potential physics reach, requirements, and feasibility.
