Jan '08 test run has been completed.
Information related to the Jan '08 test run:
Here are some old transparencies .
The Lead Radius Experiment ("PREX"), experiment number E06002,
uses the parity violating weak neutral interaction
to probe the neutron distribution
in a heavy nucleus, namely 208Pb, thus measuring the
RMS neutron radius to 1% accuracy, which has an
important impact on nuclear theory.
The experiment is being performed by the
HAPPEX collaboration which
has recently completed experiments E99115 & E00114 -- i.e. HAPPEX II and HAPPEX Helium.
