Description
The NuTeV experiment at Fermilab presents a determination of the electroweak mixing angle. High purity, large statistics samples of νμN and ν-barμN events allow the use of the Paschos-Wolfenstein relation, a technique which considerably reduces systematic errors associated with charm production and other sources. Within the Standard Model, this measurement of sin2 θW indirectly determines the W boson mass to a precision comparable to direct measurements from high energy e+e- and pp-bar colliders. NuTeV measures sin2 θW(on-shell)=0.2253±0.0019(stat.)±0.0010(syst.), which implies MW=80.26±0.11 GeV. Outside the Standard Model, this result can be used to explore the possibility of new physics; in particular, we present limits on both neutrino oscillations and the presence of extra neutral vector gauge bosons
