This year's workshop, to be held in Seattle June 22-24, will focus on developing the parity-violating electron scattering program at the Jefferson Laboratory. While the present PV electron scattering program is designed to measure the nucleon's strange-quark vector form factors, the next phase will endeavor to search for signatures of physics beyond the Standard Model. The workshop will approach this endeavor from two angles: (a) the development of a scattering experiment intended as a direct search for "new physics" and (b) measurement of the neutron radius in heavy nuclei relevant to high precision atomic PV measurements. The theoretical component of the workshop will treat nuclear and hadronic structure issues germane to the interpretation of these measurements. The experimental component will consider experimental feasibility and design issues.

Inquiries regarding participation are welcomed from both theorists and experimentalists. The co-organizers may be contacted via the e-mail addresses listed below:
