Possible explanations for the NuTeV Weinberg angle measurement

The NuTeV collaboration has made an independent determination of the Weinberg angle by measuring charged- and neutral-current cross sections from neutrino and antineutrino DIS on iron. Their value differs by 3 standard deviations from that obtained from measurements at the Z pole. We review this experiment and assess various possible explanations for this result, both within the Standard Model (“old physics”), and outside the Standard Model (“new physics”).
