Introduction deep inelastic νn scattering at NuTeV In the SM neutral (NC) and charged current (CC) neutrino nucleon scattering are described in LO by t-channel and exchange. µ d, ū s, c q u, d c, s u, d, s, c q u, d, s, c At NuTeV and beams of a mean energy of 25 GeV were scattered off a target detector and the ratios were measured. R ν = σν NC σ ν CC, R ν = σ ν NC σ ν CC
[ Introduction, νn DIS @ NuTeV ] NuTeV measured also the weak mixing angle [NuTeV 02]. sin 2 θ on-shell w = 0.2277 ± 0.003 ± 0.0009 This is about 3σ below the SM prediction! But the measurement is indirect, using the measurements of R ν, R ν making use of the Paschos-olfenstein relation and R = Rν rr ν r = 2 sin2 θ w +, r = σ ν CC σ ν CC 2.
[ Introduction, νn DIS @ NuTeV ] More precisely, ratios of counting rates R ν exp = # of NC-like ν events # of CC-like ν events Rν, R ν exp are measured. = # of NC-like ν events # of CC-like ν events R ν R ν exp, R ν exp can be related to Rν, R ν by a detailed MC physics simulation. The deviation from the SM in terms of Rexp, ν R ν exp are [NuTeV 02]: R ν = Rexp ν Rexp(SM) ν = 0.0032 ± 0.003, R ν = R ν exp R ν exp(sm) = 0.006 ± 0.0028. R ν, ν : simple starting point for studying MSSM radiative corrections

[ Introduction, possible explanations ] Although the NuTeV anomaly is far from being settled, it is interesting, if the MSSM could account for such an effect. Earlier Studies: Davidson et al. [ 02] rough study in terms of oblique corrections (i.e. momentum transfer q = 0) no Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) used Kurylov, Ramsey-Musolf, Su [ 04] : detailed parameter dependence studied momentum transfer q = 0 approximation no PDFs used results so far: MSSM not responsible (size ok, but wrong sign) our calculation: try to include kinematic effects [OBr, Koch, Hollik] full q 2 -dependence use PDFs use NuTeV cuts on hadronic Energy in final state use mean neutrino beam energy (25 GeV)
MSSM radiative corrections to N DIS definition of δr ν, ν = R ν, ν MSSM Rν, ν SM The difference between MSSM and SM prediction, δr n = RMSSM n Rn SM with R n = σnc n /σn CC (n = ν, ν), using (σ n NC ) NLO = (σ n NC ) LO + δσ n NC (σ n CC ) NLO = (σ n CC ) LO + δσ n CC (n = ν, ν) (n = ν, ν) can be expanded in δσnc n and δσn CC ( ) ( δr n σ n = NC (δσ n NC ) MSSM (δσ σcc n NC n ) SM (σ LO NC n ) LO (δσn CC ) MSSM (δσcc n ) ) SM (σcc n ). LO Only differences between MSSM and SM radiative corrections and LO cross sections appear in δr n.
[ MSSM radiative corrections to N DIS, definition of δr ν, ν ] Because of R parity conservation in the MSSM: Born cross section : SM = MSSM (very good approx.) real photon emission corrections : SM = MSSM (very good approx.) SM = MSSM for SM-like -loop graphs without virtual Higgs Thus: δσ MSSM δσ SM = const. ( [superpartner loops] + [Higgs graphs MSSM Higgs graphs SM] ).

Summary The NuTeV measurement of sin 2 θ w is intriguing but has to be further established (especially confirmation by other experiment(s) is desirable). Loop effects in the MSSM are not capable of explaining the NuTeV anomaly. (size can be right, but sign is wrong). If the anomaly was established, the MSSM would be in trouble. Our result can be easily combined with the one-loop SM result. The complete MSSM one-loop prediction for νn scattering is available for future analyses.
