Electroweak measurements with heavy quarks at SLD

Abstract

The SLD detector collected a sample of 550K hadronic events at the Z 0 peak from e + e ; collisions at the SLC during the 1993 to 1998 period. Polarized electron beams, a small and stable interaction point and the excellent performance of the 3-D CCD vertex detector provide a unique environment f o r precision electroweak tests of the Standard Model. Improved measurements of heavy quark electroweak parameters are presented here.
