Search for a new gauge boson in the Experiment (APEX)

S. Abrahamyan, Z. Ahmed, K. Allada +63

We present a search at Jefferson Laboratory for new forces mediated by sub-GeV vector bosons with weak coupling to electrons. Such a particle can be produced in electron-…

Precision Measurement of the Weak Mixing Angle in Moller Scattering

SLAC E158 Collaboration, P. L. Anthony

We report on a precision measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry in fixed target electron-electron (Moller) scattering: A_PV = -131 +/- 14 (stat.) +/- 10 (syst.) parts per bi…

Observation of Parity Nonconservation in Moller Scattering

the SLAC E158 Collaboration, P. L. Anthony

We report a measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry in fixed target electron-electron (Moller) scattering: A_PV = -175 +/- 30 (stat.) +/- 20 (syst.) parts per billion. This f…

A Monitor of the Focusing Strength of Plasma Lenses Using MeV Synchrotron Radiation

Clive Field, Gholam Mazaheri, Johnny S. T. Ng

The focusing strength of plasma lenses used with high energy electron or positron beams can give rise to synchrotron radiation with critical energies in the MeV range. A method is…

Observation of Plasma Focusing of a 28.5 GeV Positron Beam

J. S. T. Ng, P. Chen, H. Baldis +17

The observation of plasma focusing of a 28.5 GeV positron beam is reported. The plasma was formed by ionizing a nitrogen jet only 3 mm thick. Simultaneous focusing in both transver…

Observation of the Askaryan Effect: Coherent Microwave Cherenkov Emission from Charge Asymmetry in High Energy Particle Cascades

David Saltzberg, Peter Gorham, Dieter Walz +6

We present the first direct experimental evidence for the charge excess in high energy particle showers predicted nearly 40 years ago by Askaryan. We directed bremsstrahlung photon…
