The NuTeV experiment has performed precision measurements of the ratio of neutral-current to charged-current cross-sections in high rate, high energy neutrino and anti-neutrino beams on a dense, primarily steel, target. The separate neutrino and anti-neutrino beams, high statistics, and improved control of other experimental systematics, allow the determination of electroweak parameters with significantly greater precision than past neutrino-nucleon scattering experiments. Our null hypothesis test of the standard model prediction measures sin2thetaW=0.2277+/-0.0013(stat)+/-0.0009(syst), a value which is 3.0 standard deviations above the prediction. We discuss possible explanations for and implications of this discrepancy.

Our null hypothesis test of the standard model prediction measures sin2thetaW=0.2277+/-0.0013(stat)+/-0.0009(syst), a value which is 3 sigma above the prediction. We discuss possible explanations for and implications of this discrepancy.

Data collected by the LHCb experiment allow proton structure functions to be probed in a kinematic region beyond the reach of other experiments, both at the LHC and further afield. In these proceedings the significant impact of LHCb Run 1 measurement s on PDF fits is recalled and recent LHCb results, that are sensitive to PDFs, are described.
Neutrino deep-inelastic scattering provides a means to study both the strange and charm content of the nucleon. The NuTeV experiment (Fermilab E-8Neutrino deep-inelastic scattering provides a means to study both the strange and charm content of the n ucleon. The NuTeV experiment (Fermilab E-815) takes full advantage of separated neutrino and anti-neutrino beams to probe the nucleon. The strange sea is studied with charged-current charm production resulting in an opposite-signed two muon final state. The charm content of the nucleon is probed via neutral-current charm production creating an event with a single wrong-signed muon. Preliminary results are presented for both analyses.
We report the measurement of sin2thetaW in neutrino-nucleon deep inelastic scattering from the NuTeV experiment. Using separate neutrino and anti-neutrino beams, NuTeV is able to determine sin2thetaW with low systematic errors by measuring the Pascho s-Wolfenstein variable R-minus, a ratio of differences of neutrino and anti-neutrino neutral-current and charged-current cross-sections. NuTeV measures sin2thetaW(on-shell)= 0.2253+/-0.0019(stat)+/-0.0010(syst), which implies a W mass of 80.26+/-0.11 GeV.

The Tevatron Run-II program has been in progress since 2001, and the CDF and D0 experiments have been operational with upgraded detectors. Coupled with recent improvements in the Tevatron accelerator performance, the experiments have started producin g important physics results and measurements. We report these measurements as well as prospects in the near future.
