Description
The MOLLER (Measurement Of Lepton-Lepton Electroweak Reaction) experiment is an ultra-precise measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry, APV, in purely leptonic Møller interactions between longitudinally polarized electrons and unpolarized electrons in a liquid hydrogen target at momentum transfer Q2 < mZ. The APV measurement is predicted to be ~33ppb and will be measured to an overall uncertainty of 0.8ppb, or 2.4% relative accuracy. Ultimately, the MOLLER experiment’s goal is to measure the weak charge of the electron, which with this level of precision, would give insight into new physics beyond Standard Model at the TeV scale.
