Abstract |
|
We present the final
SLD measurement of the parity-violating parameter A_b
from Left-Right Forward-Backward asymmetry of bb-bar
pair production at the Z0 pole using jet-charge
self-calibrating technique. We take advantage of the
high polarization of the SLC electron beam and a high
purity b-tag based on topological reconstruction of the
mass of B-decay vertex. Our result is based on the full
1993-98 SLD data set and yields a total error of 3.4% on
A_b. |
