“…The measurements are in good agreement with each other, and, combined with recent results from Mainz at lower momentum transfer using 3 He and d targets [48,49], have greatly improved our knowledge of G n E . The BLAST collaboration at MIT-Bates [37] will take data using both 3 He and d targets at low momentum transfer over the next year, providing additional systematic checks of the nuclear structure contributions. It should be noted that uncertainties in G n E at the 10% level will not significantly impact the extraction of the strange quark form factors with the proposed level of precision of the near term parity violation experiments.…”

One of the key elements to understanding the structure of the nucleon is the role of its quarkantiquark sea in its ground state properties such as charge, mass, magnetism and spin. In the last decade, parity-violating electron scattering has emerged as an important tool in this area, because of its ability to isolate the contribution of strange quark-antiquark pairs to the nucleon's charge and magnetism. The SAMPLE experiment at the MIT-Bates Laboratory, which has been focused on ss contributions to the proton's magnetic moment, was the first of such experiments and its program has recently been completed. In this paper we give an overview of some of the experimental aspects of parity-violating electron scattering, briefly review the theoretical predictions for strange quark form factors, summarize the SAMPLE measurements, and place them in context with the program of experiments being carried out at other electron scattering facilities such as Jefferson Laboratory and the Mainz Microtron.
