Possible Explanations for The NuTeV Weinberg Angle Measurement
The NuTeV collaboration has made an independent determination of the Weinberg angle by measuring chargedand neutral-current cross sections from neutrino and antineutrino DIS on iron. Their value differs by 3 standard deviations from that obtained from measurements at the Z pole. We review this experiment and assess various possible explanations for this result, both within the Standard Model (“...
متن کاملNuTeV Structure Function Measurement
Abstract. The NuTeV experiment obtained high statistics samples of neutrino and antineutrino charged current events during the 1996-1997 Fermilab fixed target run. The experiment combines sign-selected neutrino and antineutrino beams and the upgraded CCFR iron-scintillator neutrino detector. A precision continuous calibration beam was used to determine the muon and hadron energy scales to a pre...
متن کاملCan String Theory Predict the Weinberg Angle?
We investigate whether the hypercharge assignments in the Standard Model can be interpreted as a hint at Grand Unification in the context of heterotic string theory. To this end, we introduce a general method to calculate U(1)Y for any heterotic orbifold and compare our findings to the cases where hypercharge arises from a gut. Surprisingly, in the overwhelming majority of 3-2 Standard Models, ...
متن کاملThe Weinberg Angle Without Grand Unification
We assume that strong and electroweak interactions become strong at very high energies. With this assumption, we compute the low-energy gauge coupling constants αi(mZ) as a function of the cutoff scale, taking the supersymmetric standard model with 3+2n families of quark and lepton multiplets. We find that only the five family case (n = 1) is consistent with the experimental values of the gauge...
متن کاملOn position angle errors in the Tremaine–Weinberg method
I show that Tremaine–Weinberg (TW) measurements of bar pattern speeds are sensitive to errors in the position angle of the disc, PAdisc. I use an N-body experiment to measure these errors; for typical random PAdisc errors, the resulting scatter in the measured values of the dimensionless bar speed parameter R (defined as the ratio of the corotation radius to the bar semi-major axis) is of the o...
