摘要
The Jefferson Lab program to measure the symmetry energy of neutron-rich nuclear matter, using precision electroweak methods, is progressing well. The initial measurement by the PREX experiment, leading to a 2-sigma determination of the "neutron skin" in Pb-208, has been published. Design and preparation for a further, more-precise measurement on Pb-208 is progressing well and there is general acceptance of the great advantage to a further measurement on Ca-48. The surprising ancillary result that the beam-normal single-spin asymmetry for Pb-208 is consistent with zero is also now in the literature. This paper will discuss the current experimental situation of the program.
