Parity-Violating and Parity-Conserving Asymmetries in $\vec{e}p$, $\vec{e}e$, and $\vec{e}N$ Scattering

The primary goal of the Qweak experiment at Jefferson Lab is to measure the parity-violating asymmetry $A_{PV}$ in elastic scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons from unpolarized protons at a $Q^2$ of 0.025 (GeV/c)$^2$. The proton's weak charge and the electroweak mixing angle can be extracted from $A_{PV}$. An intense (180 $\mu$A) beam of highly polarized (85\%) electrons was made incident on a 35 cm long liquid hydrogen target. A toroidal spectrometer magnet focused scattered electrons onto an azimuthally symmetric array of eight quartz Cerenkov bars. $A_{PV}$ can be determined from detector yields recorded by integrating electronics as the beam polarization was flipped. Experimental systematics were constrained via a series of additional parity-violating and parity-conserving asymmetry measurements performed with different kinematics (elastic and $N \rightarrow \Delta$), electron polarization (longitudinal and transverse), and targets (protons, electrons, aluminum, and carbon). These ancillary results contain interesting physics of their own and in many cases constitute first or highest-precision-to-date measurements. This talk will offer an overview of the various ancillary measurements, the underlying physics, and the expected precision of the final results.
