Measurement of the Neutron Radius of [superscript 208]Pb through Parity Violation in Electron Scattering

We report the first measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry A[subscript PV] in the elastic scattering of polarized electrons from [superscript 208]Pb. A[subscript PV] is sensitive to the radius of the neutron distribution (R[subscript n]). The result A[subscript PV]=0.656±0.060(stat)±0.014(sys...
