Description

We present a measurement of the forward-backward charge asymmetry (AFB) for di-electron produced via an intermediate Z/gamma*$ boson using about 3.6 fb-1 of data. These data were collected by the D0 detector in ppbar collisions at sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV. We also present a measurement of the effective weak mixing angle using the measured AFB distribution.
