Description

The MOLLER experiment purposes to carry out a precise measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry from electron-electron scattering in Hall A at Jefferson lab. The measured asymmetry will be used to extract the weak charge of the electron with unprecedented precision, which in turn results in an ultra-precise determination of the weak mixing angle. The measurement precision allows us to search for new physics signatures beyond the standard model, with a sensitivity unlikely to be matched by any experiment measuring a flavor- and CP-conserving process over the next decade. In this talk, I will give an overview of the MOLLER experiment.
