The data sample contains approximately 470,000 beam pulses. The analysis selects for twoshower final states; the II and PlI mass distributions are shown. The ratio of neutral-to charged-current single 1[0 production is examined; and after corrections for efficiency, misidentification, and contamination from higher-topology states are made, a value of 0.085 (where T is the target nucleus (for this experiment, aluminum) and T' and Til are final target states), is obtained. The value of this ratio can be related to the Weinberg weak-mixing angle yielding a value of Submitted by Carolyn Mead (cmead2@illinois.edu) on 2011-05-17T15:37:25Z No. of bitstreams: 1 1988_neinaber.pdf: 3284185 bytes, checksum: b0d2c77c3d67e82811798e810ad3f1e2 (MD5) Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-17T15:37:25Z (GMT).
