We have determined the electroweak parameters sin/sup 2/THETA/sub w/ and rho by a measurement of deep inelastic neutrino-nucleon scattering using a fine grained neutrino detector exposed to a narrow band neutrino beam at Fermilab. The unique sampling properties of our detector have permitted neutral current and charged current events to be unambiguously identified over a wide kinematic range, thereby allowing a determination of sin/sup 2/THETA/sub w/ and rho to be made with good statistics and small systematic errors. We have found sin/sup 2/THETA/sub w/ = 0.246 +- 0.012 +- 0.013 in a single parameter fit. The details of the experimental …

Description
We have determined the electroweak parameters sin/sup 2/THETA/sub w/ and rho by a measurement of deep inelastic neutrino-nucleon scattering using a fine grained neutrino detector exposed to a narrow band neutrino beam at Fermilab. The unique sampling properties of our detector have permitted neutral current and charged current events to be unambiguously identified over a wide kinematic range, thereby allowing a determination of sin/sup 2/THETA/sub w/ and rho to be made with good statistics and small systematic errors. We have found sin/sup 2/THETA/sub w/ = 0.246 +- 0.012 +- 0.013 in a single parameter fit. The details of the experimental and theoretical systematic errors are given. 17 refs., 2 figs., 2 tabs.
