Measurement of charge asymmetry in hadronic Z decays

Abstract: A significant charge asymmetry is observed in the hadronic Z decays collected with the ALEPH detector at LEP. The asymmetry expressed in terms of the difference in momentum weighted charges in the two event hemispheres is measured to be - = -0.0084 +/- 0.0015 (stat.) +/- 0.0004 (exp. sys.). In the framework of the standard model this can be interpreted as a measurement of the effective electroweak mixing angle, sin^2(teta_W((M_Z)^2)) = 0.2300 +/- 0.0034 (stat.) +/- 0.0010 (exp. sys.) … Show more

“…Here a particular scattering is called "forward" if the negatively charged quark or antiquark scatters into the forward hemisphere of the electron beam. The hadronic forwardbackward asymmetry of this process was studied at PEP [27], in PETRA [28], in TRIS-TAN [29] and in LEP [30]. We chose to concentrate on the results of TRISTAN and LEP.…”

“…Such a jet-charge method has been employed in the identification of light quarks, for instance in Ref. [11]. First, this can result in a definite charge relation between the whole jet and the B flavor.…”

“…Hadronic forward backward asymmetries in e + e − machines: The process we look at is e + e − −→ qq, where a particular scattering is called "forward" if the negatively charged quark or antiquark scatters into the forward hemisphere of the electron beam. Hadronic forward-backward asymmetry was studied at PEP [22], in PETRA [23], in TRISTAN [24] and in LEP [25]. We concentrated on the results of TRISTAN and LEP, and found that TRISTAN data gives the stricter bounds on the leptoquarks parameters.…”
