The Qweak Experiment: A Search for New Physics at the TeV Scale
 
Precision electroweak measurements at low energies provide an important
test of the Standard Model, and they are sensitive to possible new physics
extensions up to the TeV scale.  The Qweak experiment will measure the
weak charge of the proton using parity-violating electron scattering
from the proton at very low momentum transfer.  The experiment will be
performed in Hall C at Jefferson Lab.  In this talk, I will describe the
experiment, its potential impact, and its current status.  I will also
give a brief overview of the current status of other low energy neutral
current Standard Model tests, and an up to date summary of the status of
strange form factor measurements.
