Measurement of Z quark, Z electron couplings and sin**2(theta(W)) at CDF

/ Abstract
The forward-backward charge asymmetry ($A_{FB}$) of $\ppbar \to e^{+}e^{-} X$ is sensitive to the vector and axial-vector couplings of the initial state quarks and final state leptons. Based on the measurement in $72 pb^{-1}$ of CDF Run II data, we measure the coupling constants of the $Z$ boson to quarks and electron. The electroweak mixing angle, $\sin^2\theta_{W}$, is also measured through its relation to the coupling constants.
