Measuring the Weak Charge of the Proton and the Hadronic Parity Violation of the N →Δ Transition

Qweak will determine the weak charge of the proton, QpW, via an asymmetry measurement of parity-violating elastic electron-proton scattering at low four momentum transfer to a precision of 4%. QpW has firm Standard Model prediction and is related to the weak mixing angle, sin20W, a well-defined Stan...
