Improved Direct Measurement of Leptonic Coupling Asymmetries with PolarizedZBosons

Abstract: We present final measurements of the Z boson-lepton coupling asymmetry parameters A e , A m , and A t with the complete sample of polarized Z bosons collected by the SLD detector at the SLAC Linear Collider. From the left-right production and decay polar angle asymmetries in leptonic Z decays we

“…This is advantageous because on the one hand A e is proportional to 1 − 4 sin 2 θ eff , and on the other hand sin 2 θ eff is numerically close to 1/4, which results in very high sensitivity to sin 2 θ eff . SLD was able to extract the final-state couplings A b , A c [21], A s [22], A τ and A µ [23] from combined left-right, forward-backward asymmetries, using…”

“…where, for example, σ f LF is the cross-section for left-handed polarized incident electrons to produce a fermion f traveling in the forward hemisphere. Polarized Bhabba scattering represents mostly a measurement of A LR but it also includes information about A e LR,F B , both of which providing the parameter A e [23]. A e is also proportional to the hadronic asymmetry ratio formed by the forward-backward charge asymmetry, A q F B , normalized to the left-right forward-backward charge asymmetry, A q LR,F B [24].…”

“…The strongest M H constraints come from asymmetry measurements determining sin 2 θ eff W for leptons [10] at LEP 1 and the SLC [11,12], and from M W at LEP 2 and the Tevatron [13]. The two most precise determinations of sin 2 θ eff W deviate by about 3 σ from each other, but since both are statistics dominated we consider this in the following as a fluctuation.…”
