The NuTeV Collaboration has extracted the electroweak parameter sin(2)theta(W) from the measurement of the ratios of neutral current to charged current nu and (-)nu cross sections. Our value, sin(2)theta((on-shell))(W) = 0.2277 +/- 0.0013(stat) +/- 0.0009(syst), is 3 standard deviations above the standard model prediction. We also present a model independent analysis of the same data in terms of neutral-current quark couplings.

The NuTeV experiment at Fermilab has obtained a unique high statistics sample of neutrino and anti-neutrino interactions using its high-energy sign-selected beam. We present a measurement of the differential cross section for charged-current neutrino and anti-neutrino scattering from iron. Structure functions, F2(x, Q 2 ) and xF3(x, Q 2 ), are determined by fitting the inelasticity, y, dependence of the cross sections. This measurement has significantly improved systematic precision as a consequence of more precise understanding of hadron and muon energy scales.

A search for neutral heavy leptons (NHLs) has been performed using an instrumented decay channel at the NuTeV (E-815) experiment at Fermilab. The decay channel was composed of helium bags interspersed with drift chambers, and was used in conjunction with the NuTeV neutrino detector to search for NHL decays. The data were examined for NHLs decaying into muonic final states (µµν, µeν, µπ, and µρ); no evidence has been found for NHLs in the 0.25 -2.0 GeV mass range. This analysis places limits on the mixing of NHLs with standard light neutrinos at a level up to an order of magnitude more restrictive than previous search limits in this mass range.PACS numbers: 13.15.+g,13.35.Hb,14.60.Pq 1 Various extensions [1,2] to the Standard Model predict neutral heavy leptons (NHLs) which can mix with the standard light neutrinos. In these extensions, the NHLs are weak isosinglets that do not couple directly to the Z and W bosons, but can decay via mixing with the Standard Model neutrinos. Figure 1 shows one possible set of tree-level diagrams for NHL production and decay. The NuTeV (E815) neutrino experiment at Fermilab has made a sensitive search for these NHLs by combining the capabilities of a high intensity neutrino source with an instrumented decay region.In these extended models [1], the NHL lifetime depends on the mixing parameter |U | 2 and the mass of the NHL. They are expected to decay (e.g. Fig. 1b) into a neutrino and two charged leptons, into a lepton and two quarks, or into three neutrinos.NHLs may be created in the NuTeV beamline by the decays of secondary mesons produced by the Tevatron proton beam. During the 1996-1997 fixed-target run at Fermilab, NuTeV received 2.54 × 10 18 800 GeV protons on a beryllium oxide production target with the detector configured for this search. A sign-selected quadrupole train focused secondary π and K mesons down a beamline 7.8 mrad from the primary proton beam direction. 1.13 × 10 18 protons were received with the magnets set to focus positive mesons, and 1.41 × 10 18 protons with negative meson focusing. The mesons could decay into NHLs as shown in Fig. 1a. The production of secondary pions and kaons was simulated using the parameterization in [3]; the Decay Turtle program [4] simulated the propagation of charged particles through the beamline.NHLs may also be produced by prompt decays of charmed mesons produced by incident protons on the BeO target and proton dumps. These processes were simulated using a Monte Carlo program based on measured production cross sections [5]. The effects of decay phase space, NHL polarization, and helicity suppression [6] were included in the simulation of the production and decays. For NHLs of mass 1.45 GeV from D meson decay, the average momentum was ∼100 GeV; for the 0.35 GeV NHLs coming mainly from K decay, the average momentum was ∼140 GeV.This analysis reports the results of a search for NHLs with masses between 0.25 to 2.0 GeV, which decay with a muon in the final state. The primary NHL decay modes of this type are µeν, µµν, µπ, and µρ. In...

We present measurements of the semi-inclusive cross-sections for νµ-andνµ-nucleon deep inelastic scattering interactions with two oppositely charged muons in the final state. These events dominantly arise from production of a charm quark during the scattering process. The measurement was obtained from the analysis of 5102 νµ-induced and 1458νµ-induced events collected with the NuTeV detector exposed to a sign-selected beam at the Fermilab Tevatron. We also extract a crosssection measurement from a re-analysis of 5030 νµ-induced and 1060νµ-induced events collected from the exposure of the same detector to a quad-triplet beam by the CCFR experiment. The results are combined to obtain the most statistically precise measurement of neutrino-induced dimuon production cross-sections to date. These measurements should be of broad use to phenomenologists interested in the dynamics of charm production, the strangeness content of the nucleon, and the CKM matrix element V cd .

We present a new measurement of the difference between the nucleon strange and antistrange quark distributions from dimuon events recorded by the NuTeV experiment at Fermilab. This analysis is the first to use a complete next to leading order QCD description of charm production from neutrino scattering. Dimuon events in neutrino deep inelastic scattering allow direct and independent study of the strange and antistrange content of the nucleon. We find a positive strange asymmetry with a significance of 1.6sigma. We also report a new measurement of the charm mass.

The following changes should be noted.A new measurement of the neutron excess is reported from an updated material assay of the NuTeV target, ␦Nϭ5.74 Ϯ0.02%. This new value, while consistent with the previously reported neutron excess, is more precise.The definition of the neutron excess is clarified. The expression on page 111103-2 should read ␦Nϵ(AϪ2Z)/A.A sign mistake in the second term in Eq. ͑7͒ is corrected. In addition, this second term should instead have been expressed as the fractional difference in the total valence momentum carried by the U and D quarks:

Limits on nu(mu)-->nu(e) and nu(mu)-->nu(e) oscillations are extracted using the NuTeV detector with sign-selected nu(mu) and nu(mu) beams. In nu(mu) mode, for the case of sin(2)2alpha = 1, Delta(m)(2)>2.6 eV(2) is excluded, and for Delta(m)(2)>>1000 eV(2), sin(2)2alpha>1.1 x 10(-3). The NuTeV data exclude the high Delta(m)(2) end of nu(mu)-->nu(e) oscillation parameters favored by the LSND experiment without the need to assume that the oscillation parameters for nu and nu are the same. We present the most stringent experimental limits for nu(mu)(nu(mu))-->nu(e)(nu(e)) oscillations in the large Delta(m)(2) region.
