Key electroweak measurements performed by the SLD collaboration at the SLC are described and recent results given. The left-right cross-section asymmetry, $A_{LR}$, has been updated to include the 1996 data. It remains the single most…
We measure the hadronic branching ratios of the Z0 boson into heavy quarks: Rb=Gamma(Z0->bb)/Gamma(Z0->hadrons) and Rc=Gamma(Z0->cc/Gamma(Z0->hadrons) using a multi-tag technique. The measurement was performed using about 400,000 hadronic…

In the last decade, the LEP and SLD experiments played a central role in the study of B hadrons (hadrons containing a b quark). New B hadrons have been observed ($B^0_s$, \Lambda_b$, $\Xi_b$ and $B^{**}$) and their production and decay…
We present measurements of $Z^0$ to heavy-quark coupling electroweak parameters, $R_b$, $R_c$, and parity-violation parameter $A_c$, from SLD. The measurements are based on approximately 550k hadronic $Z^0$ events collected in 1993-98.…
