Description
Parity-violating electron scattering (PVES) is a relatively clean way to probe the weak mixing angle at intermediate energies. It also can provide information on aspects of nucleon and nuclear structure. In this talk I will review the progression in the sensitivity of PVES measurements and summarize recent results from Jefferson Lab. I will also describe the future MOLLER measurement, which will provide a measurement of the weak mixing angle that is five times more precise than the previous SLAC E158 measurement and which will serve as a sensitive probe of new physics.
