The running weak mixing angle is used as a convenient tool to keep control of dominating logarithmic corrections in the Standard Model of the electroweak interactions connecting measurements at largely differing energy scales. To relate the…
The weak mixing angle is a probe of the vector-axial coupling structure of electroweak interactions. It has been measured precisely at the $Z$-pole by experiments at the LEP and SLD colliders, but its energy dependence above $M_Z$ remains…
