Search for a new heavy gauge boson W' with event signature electron plus missing transverse energy in p(p)over-bar collisions at root s=1.96 TeV

Abstract

We present a search for a new heavy charged vector boson W decaying to an electron-neutrino pair in p？ collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. The data were collected with the CDF II detector and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 5.3 fb?1. No significant excess above the standard model expectation is observed and we set upper limits on B(W e).
