Title A Precision Measurement of the Beam-Normal Single-Spin Asymmetry in Forward-Angle Elastic Electron-Proton Scattering
Abstract A beam-normal single-spin asymmetry generated in the scattering of transversely polarized electrons from unpolarized nucleons is an observable related to the imaginary part of the two-photon exchange process. We report a 2% precision measurement of beam-normal single-spin asymmetry in elastic electron-proton scattering with a mean scattering angle of theta = 7.9 degrees and a mean energy of 1.149 GeV. The asymmetry result is Bn = -5.194 ± 0.067 (stat) ± 0.082 (syst) ppm. This is the most precise measurement of this quantity available to date and therefore provides a stringent test of two-photon exchange models at theta -> 0 degrees where they should be most reliable.
