A measurement of the forward-backward charge asymmetry in the decay of Z0 bosons produced from $$\bar{p}$$ collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron collider, and decaying to μ+μ- pairs is presented. From this asymmetry, a value for the Weinburg angle, sin2θw, is extracted and compared to values from other experiments.
