Abstract

Measurements of the semileptonic weak-neutral-current reactions \ensuremathν_\ensuremathμp\ensuremath→\ensuremathν_\ensuremathμp and \ensuremathν\ifmmode\else\textasciimacron\fi_\ensuremathμp\ensuremath→\ensuremathν\ifmmode\else\textasciimacron\fi_\ensuremathμp are presented. The experiment was performed using a 170-metric-ton high-resolution target detector in the BNL wide-band neutrino beam. High-statistics samples yield the absolute differential cross sections d\ensuremathσ(\ensuremathν_\ensuremathμp)/dQ² and d\ensuremathσ(\ensuremathν\ifmmode\else\textasciimacron\fi_\ensuremathμp)/dQ². A measurement of the axial-vector form factor G_A(Q²) is also presented. The results are in good agreement with the standard model SU(2)\ifmmode×\else\texttimes\fiU(1). The weak-neutral-current parameter sin²theta_W is determined to be sin²\mathrm\ensuremathθ_W=0.220\ifmmode±\else\textpm\fi0.016(stat)_\mathrm\ensuremath-0.031^+0.023(syst).
