Reply to the Comment on "A Precise Determination of Electroweak Parameters in Neutrino-Nucleon Scattering"

In a recent comment, Miller and Thomas assert that differences in nuclear shadowing effects between neutrino neutral current (NC) and charged current (CC) interactions could explain the difference between NuTeV's measurement of the weak mixing angle and the prediction from other electroweak data. We argue that the proposed effect could have only a small impact on sin2thetaW derived from the Paschos-Wolfenstein R- and that such an effect is strongly disfavored by the neutrino and anti-neutrino NC-to-CC cross-section ratios also measured by NuTeV.

Precision Calibration of the NuTeV Calorimeter

NuTeV is a neutrino-nucleon deep-inelastic scattering experiment at Fermilab. The detector consists of an iron-scintillator sampling calorimeter interspersed with drift chambers, followed by a muon toroidal spectrometer. We present determinations of response and resolution functions of the NuTeV calorimeter for electrons, hadrons, and muons over an energy range of 4.8 to 190 GeV. The absolute hadronic energy scale is determined to an accuracy of 0.43%. We compare our measurements to predictions from calorimeter theory and GEANT3 simulations.
