Reply to the Comment on "A Precise Determination of Electroweak Parameters in Neutrino-Nucleon Scattering"

preprint2002arXivOpen access

Abstract

In a recent comment, Miller and Thomas assert that differences in nuclear shadowing effects between neutrino neutral current (NC) and charged current (CC) interactions could explain the difference between NuTeV's measurement of the weak mixing angle and the prediction from other electroweak data. We argue that the proposed effect could have only a small impact on sin2thetaW derived from the Paschos-Wolfenstein R- and that such an effect is strongly disfavored by the neutrino and anti-neutrino NC-to-CC cross-section ratios also measured by NuTeV.
