NuTeV structure function measurement

Conference · · Int.J.Mod.Phys.A
The NuTeV experiment obtained high statistics samples of neutrino and antineutrino charged current events during the 1996-1997 Fermilab fixed target run. The experiment combines sign-selected neutrino and antineutrino beams and the upgraded CCFR iron-scintillator neutrino detector. A precision continuous calibration beam was used to determine the muon and hadron energy scales to a precision of 0.7% and 0.43% respectively. The structure functions F2(x, Q2) and xF3(x, Q2) obtained by fitting the y-dependence of the sum and the difference of the ν and $$\bar{\nu}$$ differential cross sections are presented.
