Electroweak Physics Results from NuTeV

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

NuTeV has performed precise measurements of neutral-current to charged-current cross section ratios using intense high energy neutrino and anti-neutrino beams on a primarily steel target at the Fermilab Tevatron. A null hypothesis test of the standard model allows the extraction sin2θWνN(1MW2/MZ2)=0.2277±0.0013(stat)±0.0009(syst)\sin^2\theta_W^{\nu N}(\equiv 1-M_W^2/M_Z^2)=0.2277\pm0.0013(stat)\pm0.0009(syst), a value that differs from predictions of global electroweak fits by +3.0σ+3.0\sigma.
