PREX Wiki

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.

Spokespersons: Krishna Kumar (U. Mass), Paul Souder (Syracuse), Robert Michaels (JLab), Guido Urciuoli (INFN).
