The physics case and an experimental overview of the MOLLER (Measurement Of a
Lepton Lepton Electroweak Reaction) experiment at the 12 GeV upgraded Jefferson
Lab are presented. A highlight of the Fundamental Symmetries subfield of the
2007 NSAC Long Range Plan was the SLAC E158 measurement of the parity-violating
asymmetry $A_{PV}$ in polarized electron-electron (M{\o}ller) scattering. The
proposed MOLLER experiment will improve on this result by a factor of five,
yielding the most precise measurement of the weak mixing angle at low or high
energy anticipated over the next decade. This new result would be sensitive to
the interference of the electromagnetic amplitude with new neutral current
amplitudes as weak as $\sim 10^{-3}\cdot G_F$ from as yet undiscovered dynamics
beyond the Standard Model. The resulting discovery reach is unmatched by any
proposed experiment measuring a flavor- and CP-conserving process over the next
decade, and yields a unique window to new physics at MeV and multi-TeV scales,
complementary to direct searches at high energy colliders such as the Large
Hadron Collider (LHC). The experiment takes advantage of the unique opportunity
provided by the upgraded electron beam energy, luminosity, and stability at
Jefferson Laboratory and the extensive experience accumulated in the community
after a round of recent successfully completed parity-violating electron
scattering experiments
