Description

The possibility of observing weak neutral-current effects in the elastic scattering of charged leptons from nucleons is discussed. General features of different possible polarization experiments (including the possibility of testing for second-class neutral currents) are considered. Polarization asymmetries are calculated for polarized- (lepton) -beam and polarized-target experiments under a wide range of kinematic conditions and for several different gauge models. The desirability of doing these experiments at moderate, rather than very large, momentum transfers is emphasized
