چکیده
We present a new measurement of the difference between the nucleon strange and antistrange quark distributions from dimuon events recorded by the NuTeV experiment at Fermilab. This analysis is the first to use a complete next to leading order QCD description of charm production from neutrino scattering. Dimuon events in neutrino deep inelastic scattering allow direct and independent study of the strange and antistrange content of the nucleon. We find a positive strange asymmetry with a significance of 1.6sigma. We also report a new measurement of the charm mass.

Precision determination of electroweak parameters and the strange content of the proton from neutrino deep–inelastic scattering
We use recent neutrino dimuon production data combined with a global deep-inelastic parton fit to construct a new parton set, NNPDF1.2, which includes a determination of the strange and antistrange distributions of the nucleon. The result is characterized by a faithful estimation of uncertainties thanks to the use of the NNPDF methodology, and is free of model or theoretical assumptions other t...
متن کاملNeutrino Dimuon Production and the Strangeness Asymmetry of the Nucleon
We have performed the first global QCD analysis to include the CCFR and NuTeV dimuon data, which provide direct constraints on the strange and anti-strange parton distributions, s(x) and s̄(x). To explore the strangeness sector, we adopt a general parametrization of the non-perturbative s(x), s̄(x) functions satisfying basic QCD requirements. We find that the strangeness asymmetry, as represented...
متن کاملNutev Anomaly & Strange-antistrange Asymmetry
The NuTeV Collaboration reported a value of sin 2 θw measured in neutrino-nucleon deep inelastic scattering, and found that the value is three standard deviations from the world average value of other electroweak measurements. If this result cannot be explained within conventional physics, it must imply some novel physics beyond the standard model. We report the correction from the asymmetric s...
متن کاملNutev Anomaly versus Strange - Antistrange Asymmetry
We report the correction from the asymmetric strange-antistrange sea of the nucleon by using both the light-cone baryon-meson fluctuation model and the chiral quark model, and show that a significant part of the NuTeV anomaly can be explained by the strange-antistrange asymmetry. We also show that the calculated s/s asymmetry are compatible with the NuTeV data by including some additional symme...
متن کاملEffect of asymmetric strange-antistrange sea to the NuTeV anomaly
We calculate the strange quark and antiquark distributions of the nucleon by using the effective chiral quark model, and find that the strange-antistrange asymmetry can bring a contribution of about 60–100% to the NuTeV deviation of sin θw from the standard value measured in other electroweak processes. The results are insensitive to different inputs. The light-flavor quark asymmetry of d−u is ...
