Preliminary eC12 and μC12 Scattering Analysis in MUSE experiment.

ORAL

Abstract

One of the MUon Scattering Experiment's (MUSE) primary goals is to study lepton universality at low Q2 by extracting the proton's electromagnetic form factors with precision from both electron and muon scattering.  The experiment, run at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland, uses beam momenta of ±115, ±160, and ±210 MeV/c and has collected data on both proton and carbon-12 targets. We aim to test lepton universality on carbon-12 targets as a complementary study to the proton,  both as a cross-check on systematics and methodology, as well as a comparison to previous studies of universality on carbon targets. Blinded, preliminary analysis will be shown.
