Abstract:SLAC E-158 is an experiment designed to make the first measurement of parity violation in Møller scattering. E-158 will measure the right-left cross-section asymmetry, A M øller LR , in the elastic scattering of a 45-GeV polarized electron beam off unpolarized electrons in a liquid hydrogen target. E-158 plans to measure the expected Standard Model asymmetry of ∼ 10 −7 to an accuracy of better than 10 −8 . To make this measurement, the polarized electron source requires for operation an intense circularly pola… Show more

“…Let us assume that x ′ and y ′ are the orthogonal transmission axis of the optical analyzer with T x ′ and T y ′ are their transmission factors respectively and x ′ makes an angle θ with the Pockels cells' fast axis. Then the intensity asymmetry is given by [44]: …”
This dissertation reports the experiment PREx, a parity violation experiment which is designed to measure the neutron radius in 208 Pb. PREx is performed in hall A of Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility from March 19th to June 21st. Longitudionally polarized electrons at energy 1 GeV scattered at and agnle of θ lab = 5.8• from the Lead target. Beam corrected pairty violaing counting rate asymmetry is (A corr = 594 ± 50(stat) ± 9(syst))ppb at Q 2 = 0.009068GeV 2 . This dissertation also presents the details of Flash ADC Data Acquisition(FADC DAQ) system for Moller polarimetry in Hall A of Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. The Moller polarimeter measures the beam polarization to high precision to meet the specification of the PREx(Lead radius experiment). The FADC DAQ is part of the upgrade of Moller polarimetery to reduce the systematic error for PREx. The hardware setup and the results of the FADC DAQ analysis are presented.
“…In previous work [2] we have shown that the upper limit of IA with passively stabilized optical spin reversal is ~5 × 10 −4 . Active feedback to correct this problem has been investigated by several groups [3][4][5][6][7][8], but to our knowledge this is the first scheme that does not make use of electro-optic or electromechanical feedback operating at the helicity-reversal frequency to force instrumental asymmetries to zero. The work reported here was necessitated by the requirements of a larger experiment designed to observe electron circular dichroism (ECD) [9,10].…”
