چکیده
The sin θW result from NuTeV falls three standard deviations from the value determined by global electroweak fits. It has been suggested that one possible explanation for this result could be the oscillation of electron neutrinos in the NuTeV beam to sterile neutrinos. This article examines several cases of masses and mixings for 3+2 neutrino oscillation models which fit the current oscillation data at 99% CL. We conclude that electron to sterile neutrino oscillations can account for only up to a third of a standard deviation between the NuTeV determination of sin θW and the standard model.

I broadly summarize the theoretical contributions in the Electroweak session of the 2005 Moriond meeting under four rubrics: i) neutrinos; ii) cosmology; iii) electroweak interactions; and iv) flavor physics.

In this paper we present three updates to heavy flavour results from the SLD detector at SLAC. These results are preliminary, based on our full 1993-1998 dataset of 550 000 hadronic Z 0 decays produced with an average electron polarisation of 73%. The new measurements are of the hadronic branching fractions into heavy quarks (R b , Rc), the b quark asymmetry (A b) using jet charge, and the heav...

We investigate the possibility that the large mixing of neutrinos is induced by their large coupling to a five-dimensional bulk neutrino. In the strong coupling limit the model is exactly soluble. It gives rise to an oscillation amplitude whose squared-mass difference is independent of the channel, thus making it impossible to explain both the solar and the atmospheric neutrino oscillations sim...

The standard model for the electroweak interactions is known 1,2,3,4 to contain vortex solutions that are the usual Nielsen-Olesen U(1) vortices 5 embedded in the larger electroweak symmetry group SU(2) × U(1). After briefly describing these vortex solutions, I will discuss their stability and argue that the presence of bound states can stabilize them. Then I will draw an intimate connection be...
