Measurement of sin2thetaW from Neutrino-Nucleon Scattering at NuTeV

We report the measurement of sin2thetaW in neutrino-nucleon deep inelastic scattering from the NuTeV experiment. Using separate neutrino and anti-neutrino beams, NuTeV is able to determine sin2thetaW with low systematic errors by measuring the Paschos-Wolfenstein variable R-minus, a ratio of differences of neutrino and anti-neutrino neutral-current and charged-current cross-sections. NuTeV measures sin2thetaW(on-shell)= 0.2253+/-0.0019(stat)+/-0.0010(syst), which implies a W mass of 80.26+/-0.11 GeV.

A Measurement of $R ={σ_L}/{σ_T}$ in Deep Inelastic Neutrino-Nucleon Scattering at the Tevatron

Measurements of neutrino-nucleon and antineutrino-nucleon differential cross sections using the CCFR neutrino detector at Fermilab have been used to extract preliminary values of $R ={σ_L}/{σ_T}$ in the kinematic region $0.01<x<0.6$, and $4<Q^2<300$ GeV$^2$. The new data provide the first measurements of $R$ in the $x<0.1$ region. The $x$ and $Q^2$ dependence of $R$ is compared with a QCD based fit to previous data. The QCD fit, which provides an estimate of $R$ in small $x$ region where $R$ has not been previously measured, is in good agreement with the new CCFR data.
