Abstract

We present the measurements of the leptonic asymmetries in Z0Z^0 decays measured by the SLD experiment at SLAC. A data sample of approximately 550,000 Z0Z^0 bosons are used for the preliminary measurement of ALR(Ae)A_{LR}(A_{e}) and the leptonic final state measurements of AeA_{e}, AμA_{\mu} and AτA_{\tau}, representing the entire set of 1992-1998 SLD runs. When combining all results, a preliminary value for the effective weak mixing angle is obtained: sin2θWeff=0.23109±0.00029{\sin}^2{\theta}_{W}^{eff} = 0.23109 \pm 0.00029. We also present the direct measurements of AbA_{b} from left-right forward-backward asymmetries, using partial data samples from 1993-1998 SLD runs. The preliminary value combines jet charge, cascade kaon and semileptonic decay analyses to obtain Ab=0.866±0.036A_{b} = 0.866 \pm 0.036.
