Precision Measurement of the Weak Mixing Angle in Moller Scattering
Abstract
We report on a precision measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry in fixed target electron-electron (Moller) scattering: APV = -131 +/- 14 (stat.) +/- 10 (syst.) parts per billion, leading to the determination of the weak mixing angle 2θWeff = 0.2397 +/- 0.0010 (stat.) +/- 0.0008 (syst.), evaluated at Q2 = 0.026 GeV2. Combining this result with the measurements of 2θWeff at the Z0 pole, the running of the weak mixing angle is observed with over 6 sigma significance. The measurement sets constraints on new physics effects at the TeV scale.
