  11. Precision Measurement of sin2θW Direct measurement of SM weak mixing angle is average of two measurements that disagree by 3σ... ...yet the naive statistical average agrees to a very high level with the LHC Higgs candidate We failed to nail sin2θW when we had the colliders! -B.Marciano The consistency of the SM prediction, between directly measured mH, mW, mt, sin2θW bears testing • sin2θW improvements at hadron colliders very challenging • “Giga-Z” option of ILC or neutrino factory: powerful but far future NSAC Subcommittee, September 2012 Kent Paschke JLab Parity Violation
