Precision electroweak tests with $\bar \nu_e e$ scattering

Abstract

Measurements of the cross section for $\bar \nu_e e^-$ elastic scattering with unprecedented precision have recently been proposed. The impact of these experiments for detecting possible deviations from the standard electroweak theory is analyzed and compared with that of several other measurements.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure.
