This paper presents a strategy for measuring sin^2 theta_W to ~1% at a reactor-based experiment, using antineutrinos electron elastic scattering. This error is comparable to the NuTeV, SLAC E158, and APV results on sin^2 theta_W, but with…
The NuTeV Collaboration reported a value of $\sin^{2}\theta_{w}$ measured in neutrino-nucleon deep inelastic scattering, and found that the value is three standard deviations from the standard model prediction. This result is obtained under…

Present global fits to electroweak data are characterized by two results that differ from Standard Model expectations by about 3 sigma, the NuTeV measurement of sin^2theta_W and the FB b quark asymmetries measured at LEP. I review possible…
