description

We report here on a new measurement of the parity violating (PV) asymmetry in the scattering of polarized electrons on unpolarized protons performed with the setup of the A4-collaboration at the MAMI accelerator facility in Mainz. This experiment is the first to use counting techniques in a parity violation experiment. The kinematics of the experiment is complementary to the earlier measurements of the SAMPLE collaboration at the MIT Bates accelerator and the HAPPEX collaboration at Jefferson Lab. After discussing the experimental context of the experiments, the setup at MAMI and preliminary results are presented.
