Precision Measurements of Electroweak Parameters with Z Bosons at the Tevatron
Abstract
We report on the extraction of and an indirect measurement of the mass of the W boson from the forward-backward asymmetry of dilepton events in the boson mass region at the Tevatron. The data samples of and events collected by the CDF detector correspond to the full 9.4 fb run II sample and yield an effective electroweak mixing angle . The corresponding result reported by the D0 collaboration with the full 9.4 fb sample is . The CDF collaboration also extracts the on-shell electroweak mixing angle which corresponds to an indirect measurement of the W boson mass . The quoted uncertainties include both statistical and systematic contributions.
