abstract

We present a calculation of the weak mixing angle in the $\overline{\rm\small MS}$ renormalization scheme which is relevant for experiments performed at very low energies or momentum transfers. We include higher orders in the perturbative QCD expansion, as well as updated phenomenological and theoretical input, and obtain the result $\sin^{2}{\theta}_W(0) = 0.23868(5)(2)$ for the reference values $\alpha_s(M_Z) = 0.1182$ and $m_c(m_c) = 1.272$ GeV. The first quoted error is from the current Standard Model evaluation of the mixing angle at the $Z$ boson mass scale. The second error represents the theoretical and parametric uncertainties induced by the evolution to the Thomson limit and is discussed in detail.

  1. Fermionic Electroweak Two-Loop Corrections to Drell-Yan and Related Processes

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 7.0

    The full NNLO electroweak corrections with closed fermion loops to e+e- → ffbar (and Drell-Yan) were calculated semi-numerically and found to modify NLO cross-sections by about 1%.

  2. The running of the electroweak gauge couplings from first principles

    hep-lat 2026-07 accept novelty 6.5

    Lattice QCD plus pQCD matching yields Δα_had^(5)(M_Z²)=0.027821(34)lat(35)pQCD at 0.17% precision and a up-to-7σ tension with e+e- data near 1 GeV².

  3. Radiative corrections in neutral-current (anti)neutrino elastic scattering at $\text{GeV}$ energies I: Nucleon targets

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Radiative corrections to neutral-current (anti)neutrino-nucleon elastic scattering are computed within low-energy EFT and reach a few percent, comparable to the strange-quark effects they must be disentangled from.

  4. Probing the Solar $^8$B Neutrino Fog with XENONnT

    hep-ex 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    XENONnT measures solar 8B neutrino coherent scattering at 3.3 sigma, finds no light dark matter, and constrains the weak mixing angle at low momentum transfer.

  5. Testing light and heavy vector mediators with solar CE$\nu$NS measurements

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0

    Combined solar CEνNS data from XENONnT, PandaX-4T, and LZ yield competitive constraints on vector NSI and light mediators and a weak mixing angle measurement at low momentum transfer.

  6. Elastic neutrino-electron scattering perspectives at nuclear reactors

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0

    Projections show CLOUD and TAO could improve low-energy weak mixing angle measurements to 8-11% via elastic neutrino-electron scattering, with competitive magnetic moment and NSI limits.

  7. Refined extraction of electroweak and nuclear parameters from germanium CE$\nu$NS data

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Combined fit of two germanium CEνNS datasets yields refined neutron radius, skin thickness, and sin²θ_W at low Q, presented versus Lindhard quenching variations and benchmarked against Shell Model form factors.

  8. Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex

    hep-ph 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    High-statistics CEνNS measurements at J-PARC are feasible with significant sensitivity to relevant particle physics scenarios using currently funded detectors.

  9. Shifting the neutrino fog: studying the Isospin-violating Dark Matter case

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 4.0

    Isospin-violating dark matter shifts the neutrino fog: in xenon, a Z-portal model (f_n/f_p ≈ -22) lowers the discovery limit while the Scotogenic model (f_n/f_p = 0) raises it.
