Weak and electromagnetic corrections to sin2 θ w in deep inelastic neutrino-nucleon scattering

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

The weak and electromagnetic corrections to deep inelastic neutrino scattering experiments are calculated. The results are used to determineθ w from the ratios

$$R_v = \frac{{\sigma _{nc} }}{{\sigma _{cc} }} and D_ - = \frac{{\sigma _{nc} - \bar \sigma _{nc} }}{{\sigma _{cc} - \bar \sigma _{nc} }}$$

It is found that the effect of the weak corrections is less than 1% and that electromagnetic corrections decrease the angle by about 3%.
