Abstract
Neutrino physics with high energy neutrino beams has played a crucial role in
establishing the Standard Model of the electroweak interaction, in particular with
repeated measurements of increasing precision of the fundamental parameter sin2θW which defines the
electroweak mixing. This paper relates the history of these measurements, from the
discovery of the neutral current interaction in 1973 until the latest high precision
measurements in the years 2000. The review discusses in chronological order the important
experiments performed at CERN, Fermilab and Brookhaven during the last thirty years of the
20th century.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of this journal is to catalyse, foster, and disseminate an awareness and understanding of the historical development of ideas in contemporary physics, and more generally, ideas about how Nature works.
The scope explicitly includes:
- Contributions addressing the history of physics and of physical ideas and concepts, the interplay of physics and mathematics as well as the natural sciences, and the history and philosophy of sciences, together with discussions of experimental ideas and designs - inasmuch as they clearly relate, and preferably add, to the understanding of modern physics.
- Annotated and/or contextual translations of relevant foreign-language texts.
- Careful characterisations of old and/or abandoned ideas including past mistakes and false leads, thereby helping working physicists to assess how compelling contemporary ideas may turn out to be in future, i.e. with hindsight.
