Use a relativistic single particle model – model ) from a relativistic mean field theory. To include final state interaction, a relativistic mean field (RMF) is used, which guarantees current conservation and gauge invariance. Include the Coulomb distortion of the electrons. Ingredients : 1. Introduction The strangeness contents of the nucleon are investigated from parity violating electron scattering asymmetry in quasielastic region for 208 Pb nucleus. Goal : PREX at JLab

4. Summary and conclusion The effect of strangeness from neutrons is greater than that from protons. The effect of strangeness at forward angle is greater than that at backward angle to parity violating asymmetry in terms of energy transfer. The effect of Coulomb distortion exhibits clearly at forward angle but is very small at backward angle as expected. In conclusion, parity violating asymmetry clearly shows strangeness effect although the effect is small. Thank you very much !
