Abstract

Parity violation in the scattering of polarized electrons is a unique tool for nuclear and particle physics that is presently being exploited at JLab, Mainz, MIT-Bates, and SLAC. One focus of these experiments is the measurement of the contribution of strange quarks to the elastic form factors of the nucleon. Recently, results on this topic from MIT-Bates and JLab have been reported. Future experiments, motivated by the search for strange form factors as well as testing the Standard Model and measuring the radius of the neutron distribution, are described.
