Abstract
The E-158 experiment has performed the first measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry in electron-electron (Møller) scattering using a 50 GeV polarized electron beam and a fixed unpolarized liquid hydrogen target in End Station A at SLAC. Our preliminary results is: APV=-128± 14(stat)± 12(syst) × 10-9. From this quantity we extract
, consistent with the Standard Model prediction.
