Determination of the effective electroweak mixing angle from Z decays
The effective electroweak mixing angle sin<sup>2</sup>θw is measured from the production and decay of the Z boson in e+e- interactions. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 18 pb-l with about 420 000 hadronic and 40 000 leptonic Z decays. The mixing angle sin 2<s...

| Sumario: | The effective electroweak mixing angle sin<sup>2</sup>θw is measured from the production and decay of the Z boson in e+e- interactions. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 18 pb-l with about 420 000 hadronic and 40 000 leptonic Z decays. The mixing angle sin 2<sup>2</sup>θw is determined from several independent measurements: the leptonic and hadronic cross sections, the forward-backward asymmetries of charged leptons and b-quarks, and the z-polarization. The results are found to be in good agreement with each other. The value of sin 2<sup>2</sup>θw from a fit to the asymmetries in a model independent method is 0.2321-4-0.0021 and from a global fit to the data in the Standard Model framework is 0.2328±0.0013. |
