We present a measurement of the effective weak mixing angle parameter sin²θ$$^{ℓ}_{eff}$$ in $$p$$$\bar{p}$$ → Z/γ^* → μ⁺μ^- events at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV, collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider and corresponding to 8.6 fb^-1 of integrated luminosity. The measured value of sin²θ$$^{ℓ}_{eff}$$ [μμ] = 0.23016 ± 0.00064 is further combined with the result from the D0 measurement in $$p$$$\bar{p}$$ → Z/γ^* → e⁺ e^- events, resulting in sin²θ$$^{ℓ}_{eff}$$[ comb ] = 0.23095 ± 0.00040. This combined result is the most precise measurement from a single experiment at a hadron collider and is the most precise determination using the coupling of the Z/γ^* to light quarks.
