Prescott: positive endorsement Technical Challenges Design to flip Pockels cell ~ 2 khz 80 ppm pulse-to-pulse statistical fluctuations 1 nm control of beam centroid on target Improved methods of slow helicity reversal > 10 gm/cm 2 liquid hydrogen target 1.5 m: ~ 5 85 µa Full Azimuthal acceptance with θ lab ~ 5 mrad novel two-toroid spectrometer radiation hard, highly segmented integrating detectors Robust and Redundant 0.4% beam polarimetry Pursue both Compton and Atomic Hydrogen techniques MOLLER Collaboration ~ 100 authors, ~ 30 institutions Expertise from SAMPLE A4, HAPPEX, G0, PREX, Qweak, E158 4th generation JLab parity experiment ~ 20M$ project funding sought 3-4 years construction 2-3 years running 26

76 Summary Parity-violating electron scattering has played a major in the development and tests of electroweak interactions over the past 3 decades The physics results and the technical progress have set the stage for the next era of ultra-precise measurements: TeV-scale electroweak physics beyond the Standard Model Neutron skin of a heavy nucleus QCD structure of the nucleon (auxiliary measurements of SOLID) MOLLER at JLab is a compelling new opportunity ultra-precise weak mixing angle comparable to best collider measurements Might emerge as critical: depends on discovery (or lack thereof) of the Higgs boson & its mass unique TeV-scale sensitivity to complement/decipher potential LHC anomalies unique use of the extraordinary qualities of the JLab electron beam 27

77 Backups 28

Timeline Would run in Hall A on and off between 2016 and 2022 JLab is currently negotiating with Cornell to move CLEOII magnet ~ 2014 R&D and Design ~ 2-3 years Funding strategies (total cost M$) unlikely to be a one CD-funded project must consist of several sub-projects JLab wants to single out hardware that might be of multi-purpose use 29

79 Charge Symmetry Violation We already know CSV exists: u- d mass difference δm = m d - m u 4 MeV δm = M n - M p 1.3 MeV electromagneic effects Direct sensicvity to parton- level CSV Important implicacons for PDF s Could be parcal explanacon of the NuTeV anomaly SOLID sensitivity R CSV = For A PV in electron- 2 H DIS SensiCvity will be enhanced if u+d falls off more rapidly than δu- δd as x 1 bag model (solid) Radionov et al. QED splitting (dashed) Glueck et al. δd δu x Significant effects are predicted at high x 30

80 A Special HT Effect The observacon of Higher Twist in PV- DIS would be excicng direct evidence for diquarks following the approach of Bjorken, PRD 18, 3239 (78), Wolfenstein, NPB146, 477 (78) Isospin decomposicon before using PDF s A PV = G F Q2 [ a(x) + f (y)b(x)] 2πα = hvvi hssi hvvi + hssi a(x) / F Z 1 / F 1 Higher- Twist valence quark- quark correlacon Zero in quark- parton model (c) type diagram is the only operator that can contribute to a(x) higher twist: theoretically very interesting! σ L contributions cancel Castorina & Mulders, 84 Use ν data for small b(x) term. 31

81 Nuclear Medium Modification Cloet, Bentz, Thomas, arxiv They propose that a neutron or proton excess in nuclei leads to an isovector-vector mean field dominated by ρ exchange shifts quark distributions: apparent CSV violation Isovector EMC effect: explain 2/3 of NuTeV anomaly 32

82 Apparent CSV in Nuclei Suppose one completes a 2 H APV measurement, then repeat with 208 Pb The ratio of ratios (heavy nucleus vs deuterium) as a function of x should show a measurable effect if model is correct Measuring the EMC effect along a different isospin axis 5% Would be a smoking gun demonstration of nuclear medium modification of quark distributions Another classic example of interplay between EW and QCD physics 33
