Measurement of the b quark forward–backward asymmetry around the Z0 peak using an inclusive tag
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The b quark forward–backward asymmetry has been measured using hadronic Z0 decays collected by the OPAL experiment at LEP. Z0→bb̄ decays were selected using a combination of secondary vertex and lepton tags, and the sign of the b quark charge was determined using an inclusive tag based on jet, vertex and kaon charges. The results, corrected to the quark level, are: AFBb=0.0582±0.0153±0.0012ats=89.50GeV,AFBb=0.0977±0.0036±0.0018ats=91.26GeV,AFBb=0.1221±0.0123±0.0025ats=92.91 GeV, where the first error is statistical and the second systematic in each case. Within the framework of the Standard Model, the result is interpreted as a measurement of the effective weak mixing angle for electrons of sin2θeff,eW=0.23205±0.00068.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
