NuTeV Strange/Antistrange Sea Measurements from Neutrino Charm Production
- University of Oregon, Eugene OR 97403 (United States)
An updated forward dimuon cross section from v - N DIS charm production at the NuTeV experiment at FNAL is presented. Charged current interactions in neutrino-nucleon scattering provide a unique means of studying nucleon structure. Additionally, charged current events with two oppositely charged muons in the final state allow direct study of charm production and measurement of the strange sea. NuTeV's sign selected beam gives it the ability to extract the strange and antistrange seas independently, for which an asymmetry has been predicted in some theoretical models, and which is currently of intense interest in interpreting neutrino electroweak results. The results presented here represent a re-analysis of the NuTeV data utilizing the full inclusive CC data sample for normalization. New preliminary leading order strange asymmery results are also presented.
