INT Workshop on PVDIS at JLab 12 GeV

Workshop overview:
Since the pivoting measurement at SLAC in 1978 and the establishment of the Standard Model of electroweak physics, Parity-Violating Electron Scattering (PVES) asymmetry has provided data on a variety of topics from the strangeness content of the nucleon, the excess of the neutron spatial distribution in heavy nuclei and its connection to neutron star physics, and the proton weak charge, to measurements of the effective electron-quark neutral current couplings through Apv in elastic and deep inelastic scattering (DIS), respectively. As JLab 12 GeV program is now in full swing, the goal of JLab’s PVES program has transitioned to precision tests of the Standard Model, and to provide constraints on Beyond-the SM (BSM) physics that are complementary to high energy direct searches.

The focus of this workshop is to fully explore the physics and challenges presented by PVDIS and similar measurements with the Solenoid Large Intensity Device (SoLID) and the 11 GeV beam at JLab. By the end of the workshop, we hope not only to strengthen the planned SoLID PVDIS program, but also to expand to additional topics that can be explored in the near future.
