Abstract (data abstract)
Fermilab-Tevatron. Drell-Yan lepton pairs are produced in the process PBAR P --> MU+ MU- + X through an intermediate GAMMA*/Z boson. The forward-backward asymmetry in the polar-angle distribution of the MU- as a function of the invariant mass of the MU+ MU- pair is used to obtain the effective leptonic determination SIN**2(THETAEFF(LEPTON)) of the electroweak-mixing parameter SIN**2(THETA(W)), from which the value of SIN**2(THETA(W)) is derived assuming the standard model. The measurement sample, recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF), corresponds to 9.2 fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity from PBAR P collisions at a center-of-momentum energy of 1.96 TeV, and is the full CDF Run II (2001-2011) data set.
