We discuss whether the NuTeV anomaly can be explained, compatibly with all other data, by QCD erects (maybe, if the strange sea is asymmetric, or there is a tiny violation of isospin), new physics in propagators or couplings of the vector bosons (not really), loops of supersymmetric particles (no), dimension six operators (yes, for one specific SU(2)(L)-invariant operator), leptoquarks (not in a minimal way), extra U(1) gauge bosons (maybe: an unmixed Z' coupled to B - 3L(mu) also increases the muon g - 2 by about 10(-9) and gives a 'burst' to cosmic rays above the GZK cutoff).

Abstract
We discuss whether the NuTeV anomaly can be explained, compatibly with all other data, by QCD erects (maybe, if the strange sea is asymmetric, or there is a tiny violation of isospin), new physics in propagators or couplings of the vector bosons (not really), loops of supersymmetric particles (no), dimension six operators (yes, for one specific SU(2)(L)-invariant operator), leptoquarks (not in a minimal way), extra U(1) gauge bosons (maybe: an unmixed Z' coupled to B - 3L(mu) also increases the muon g - 2 by about 10(-9) and gives a 'burst' to cosmic rays above the GZK cutoff).File in questo prodotto:
