Journal Article
Reduction of the electroweak correlation in the PDF updating by using the forward–backward asymmetry of Drell–Yan process
2022
Overview
We propose a new observable for the measurement of the forward–backward asymmetry (AFB) in Drell–Yan lepton production. At hadron colliders, the AFB distribution is sensitive to both the electroweak (EW) fundamental parameter sin2θW, the weak mixing angle, and the parton distribution functions (PDFs). Hence, the determination of sin2θW and the updating of PDFs by directly using the same AFB spectrum are strongly correlated. This correlation would introduce large bias or uncertainty into both precise measurements of EW and PDF sectors. In this article, we show that the sensitivity of AFB on sin2θW is dominated by its average value around the Z pole region, while the shape (or gradient) of the AFB spectrum is insensitive to sin2θW and contains important information on the PDF modeling. Accordingly, a new observable related to the gradient of the spectrum is introduced, and demonstrated to be able to significantly reduce the potential bias on the determination of sin2θW when updating the PDFs using the same AFB data.
