We report a new measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry in elastic electron scattering from the proton at backward scattering angles. This asymmetry is sensitive to the strange magnetic form factor of the proton as well as electroweak axial radiative corrections. The new measurement of A=-4.92 +- 0.61 +- 0.73 ppm provides a significant constraint on these quantities. The implications for the strange magnetic form factor are discussed in the context of theoretical estimates for the axial corrections.

We report the first measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry in elastic electron scattering from the proton. The asymmetry depends on the neutral weak magnetic form factor of the proton which contains new information on the contribution of strange quark-antiquark pairs to the magnetic moment of the proton. We obtain the value $G_M~Z= 0.34 \pm 0.09 \pm 0.04 \pm 0.05$ n.m. at $Q~2=0.1$ (GeV/c)${}~2$.

Electron-proton elastic scattering cross sections have been measured at four-momentum transfers between 1.0 and 3.0 (GeV/ c ) 2 and at electron scattering angles between 10° and 20° and at about 86° in the laboratory. The proton electromagnetic form factors G E and G M were determined. The results indicate that G E ( q 2 ) decreases faster with increasing q 2 than G M ( q 2 ).
