Electroweak Theory
• Standard Model unifies Weak and EM to SU(2)xU(1)
gauge theory
– Weak neutral current interaction
– Measured physical parameters related to mixing parameters
for the couplings

• Neutrinos in this picture are unique because they only
interact through left-handed weak interactions  Probe
weak sector only
– Less complication in some measurements, such as proton
structure

sin2qW and n-N scattering
• In the electroweak sector of the Standard Model, it is not known a priori what
the mixture of electrically neutral electromagnetic and weak mediator is
This fractional mixture is given by the mixing angle
• Within the on-shell renormalization scheme, sin2qW is:
sin q
On - Shell

M W2
 10 M Z2
•Provides independent measurement of MW & information to pin down MHiggs via
higher order loop corrections, in comparable uncertainty to direct measurements
•Measures light quark couplings  Sensitive to other types (anomalous) of
couplings
•In other words, sensitive to physics beyond SM  New vector bosons,
compositeness,n-oscillations, etc

EW Higher Order Corrections
• LO GSW requires three parameters: , GF and MZ
• Higher order corrections bring in dependences to
two additional parameters: MTop and MHiggs

The Original Experiment
•
•
•
Conventional neutrino beam from /k decays
Focus all signs of /k for neutrinos and antineutrinos
Only nm in the beam (NC events are mixed)
•
Very small cross section  Heavy neutrino target
ne are the killers (CC events look the same as NC events)

Improvements on Measurements
• Asses the uncertainties from previous
measurements
• Determine what the sources of largest
theoretical and experimental
uncertainties are
• Provide new methods to reduce large
uncertainties

Improving Experimental Uncertainties
• Electron neutrinos, ne, in the beam fakes NC events from CC
interactions
– If the production cross section is well known, the effect will be
smaller but since majority come from neutral K (KL) whose x-sec is
known only to 20%, this is a source of large experimental
uncertainty
• Need to come up with a beamline that separates neutrinos from
anti-neutrinos

MC to Relate Rnexp to Rn and sin2qW
• Parton Distribution Model
– Correct for details of PDF model  Used CCFR data for PDF
– Model cross over from short nm CC events
•
Neutrino Fluxes
- nm,ne,`nm,`ne in the two running modes
- ne CC events always look short
•
Shower length modeling
– Correct for short events that look long
•
Detector response vs energy, position, and time
– Continuous testbeam running minimizes systematics
