Helicity-Correlated Systematics in the Q$_{weak}$ Experiment

The Q$_{weak}$ experiment at Jefferson Laboratory will provide a 4\% measurement of the proton's weak charge Q$_{w}^{p}$, using parity-violating electron scattering from Hydrogen at low momentum transfer. The experiment will measure a tiny parity-violating asymmetry $\sim$256 parts per billion, which means control and precise measurement of systematic errors is a must. While great care is being taken to suppress or eliminate helicity-correlated changes in electron beam properties at the source, broken symmetries in the experimental apparatus can produce false asymmetries in the detected signal. For Q$_{weak}$ we measure the detector sensitivities $\partial$A/$\partial$x$_{i}$ (i = 1..5) for first order offline correction of beam-related false asymmetries, using both regression against natural beam motion and a driven modulation system. I will discuss the methodology and status of the helicity-correlated detector sensitivities and how they relate to a precision measurement Q$_{weak}$.
