Résumé

A subset of results from the recently completed Jefferson Lab Qweak experiment are reported. This experiment, sensitive to physics beyond the Standard Model, exploits the small parity-violating asymmetry in elastic ep scattering to provide the first determination of the proton's weak charge Q _w^p. The experiment employed a 180 μA longitudinally polarized 1.16 GeV electron beam on a 35 cm long liquid hydrogen target. Scattered electrons in the angular range 6° < θ < 12° corresponding to Q² = 0.025 GeV² were detected in eight Cerenkov detectors arrayed symmetrically around the beam axis. The goals of the experiment were to provide a measure of ep to 4.2% (combined statisstatistical and systematic error), which implies a measure of sin²(θ _w) at the level of 0.3%, and to help constrain the vector weak quark charges C_1u and C_1d. The experimental method is described, with particular focus on the challenges associated with the world's highest power LH₂ target. The new constraints on C_1u and C _1d provided by the subset of the experiment's data analyzed to date will also be shown, together with the extracted weak charge of the neutron.
