Description
Sensitive tests of the standard model are
possible through high precision determinations of the
weak mixing angle using parity violation electron scattering.
The precision which can be reached at very low Q^2
is comparable with the measurements obtained from LEP
which are at present still the most precise determinations.
Mass scales of new interactions upt to 50 TeV are tested.
The present status at the different experiments and the
physics reach will be discussed. Parity violating electron scattering
can in addition be employed for a variety of other topics like
neutron skin measurements and others.
