Electroweak radiative corrections and neutral current phenomenology

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6404432

Precision measurements of sin/sup 2/ theta/sub W/ including the effects of radiative corrections are surveyed. A world average sin/sup 2/ theta/sub W/ = 0.231 +- 0.004 is obtained. Comparison of deep-inelastic nu/sub ..mu../N scattering and m/sub W/ or m/sub Z/ is shown to test the standard model at the quantum loop level and constrain new physics. Implications for extra Z' bosons and grand unified theories are briefly discussed. 25 refs., 2 figs.
