The front-end signal path of the P2 experiment at MESA — Sebastian Baunack¹, Boris Gläser¹, •Rahima Krini¹, Frank Maas^1,2,3, David R. Pineiro², Tobias Rimke¹, and Malte Wilfert¹ for the P2 collaboration — ¹Institute for Nuclear Physics, Mainz, Germany — ²Helmholtz Institute Mainz, Germany — ³PRISMA+ Cluster of Excellence, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz

The weak mixing angle sin²θ_W can be measured in parity violating elastic electron-proton scattering. The aim of the P2 experiment is a very precise measurement of the weak mixing angle with an accuracy of 0.15% at a low four-momentum transfer of Q²=4.5·10⁻³GeV². In combination with existing measurements at the Z pole with comparable accuracy, this comprises a test of the standard model with a sensitivity towards new physics up to a mass scale of 50 TeV. The experiment will be built at the future MESA accelerator in Mainz.
The small asymmetries O(10⁻⁸) and the high precision require very high statistics and therefore an integrating measurement with the associated integrating data acquisition readout chain. A joint read-out electronics for P2 experiment in Mainz and for Moeller experiment at the Jefferson Laboratory is under development in collaboration with the University of Manitoba. The first prototype of a full differential integrating detector signal chain was built and tested at MAMI (Mainzer Mikrotron). The results fulfill the requirements of the P2 parity violation experiment and will be presented in this talk.
