E158: Electron-Electron (Møller) Scattering ~ 11 ppb raw statistical error at highest E beam, ~ 0.4% error on weak mixing angle Hydrogen Target Apart from longitudinal running, transversely polarized electron beam data was collected 18 Beam Normal Asymmetry Measurements Krishna Kumar, September 28, 2017

A n must vanish at 90 degrees in the COM for Møller scattering E158 Transverse Data Dixon and Schreiber (2004) B n (max) ~ 7 ppm E158 acceptance: dotted lines Result: -7.03 ± 0.25 ± 0.36 ppm Theory: -6.91 ppm 6 Fig 2: Run2 46GeV Asymmetries vs Channel 19 Beam Normal Asymmetry Measurements Krishna Kumar, September 28, 2017

E158 unpublished data might be interesting for phenomenology • The e-p vector analyzing power is found to be consistent with a dispersive approach prediction assuming that the asymmetry of the 30% inelastic background is zero • A PV for e-p scattering is found to be consistent with what is expected from the dominant inelastic scattering amplitude (similar to the inelastic scattering measurements done by G0, PVDIS and Qweak at JLab) 20 Beam Normal Asymmetry Measurements Krishna Kumar, September 28, 2017

Why Interesting Here? 22 Beam Normal Asymmetry Measurements Krishna Kumar, September 28, 2017

Precision Test Planned for MOLLER • set up for physics running • convert to vertical polarization at polarized source • run a few hours • back to longitudinal polarization • back off beam energy by 50 MeV: horizontal polarization on target • extract vector analyzing power to precision and accuracy of demonstrate complete understanding of around or better than 0.5% apparatus: simultaneous test of beam Is theory good to 0.1% with polarization, radiative corrections, detector acceptance, backgrounds Dixon/Schreiber work? 23 Beam Normal Asymmetry Measurements Krishna Kumar, September 28, 2017

Concluding Remarks • There is a wealth of A n measurements from the parity violation experiments on forward and backward angle elastic electron-proton scattering • Some additional A n measurements of electron-proton inelastic scattering might be of interest; new data forthcoming from Qweak • A n measurements on heavier nuclei provides an interesting theoretical challenge: any new insights relevant to electroweak boxes on light nuclei/proton? New data will soon become available both at 1 GeV (Qweak) and lower energies (Mainz A1) • There are already some interesting constraints on the neutral current amplitude in inelastic electron proton scattering: have all the available data been used to reduce gamma-Z box uncertainties? • The future holds many possibilities for providing precision measurements of A PV in inelastic electron proton scattering at a variety of kinematic points: MOLLER, SOLID and P2. How useful will they be? These experiments are all capable of making new A n measurements: what’s interesting? Continued dialog is necessary to make best use of existing results and optimizing the future program of auxiliary measurements 24 Beam Normal Asymmetry Measurements Krishna Kumar, September 28, 2017
