Zusammenfassung: | The weak mixing angle provides a sensitive test of the Standard Model. We
study SBND's sensitivity to the weak mixing angle using neutrino-electron
scattering events. We perform a detailed simulation, paying particular
attention to background rejection and estimating the detector response. We find
that SBND can provide a reasonable constraint on the weak mixing angle,
achieving 8% precision for $10^{21}$ protons on target, assuming an overall
flux normalization uncertainty of 10%. This result is superior to those of
current neutrino experiments and is relatively competitive with other
low-energy measurements. |
