Description
The parity-violating electron scattering program at Jefferson Lab has been a remarkable success. In particular, the PREX and CREX campaigns have provided for the first time, model-independent information on the neutron distribution of medium to heavy nuclei that is free from the uncertainties inherent to hadronic probes. In this presentation I will discuss the far reaching implications of these measurements--ranging from nuclear giant resonances to coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering and the structure of neutron stars.
