Accurate Determination of the Neutron Skin Thickness of ${}^{208}$Pb through Parity-Violation in Electron Scattering

D. Adhikari, H. Albataineh, D. Androic +98

We report a precision measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry $A_{PV}$ in the elastic scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons from ${}^{208}$Pb. We measure $A_{PV}=550…
