Search for a New Heavy Gauge Boson Wprime with Electron + missing ET Event Signature in ppbar collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV

Abstract

We present a search for a new heavy charged vector boson $W^{\prime }$ decaying to an electron-neutrino pair in $p\bar{p}$ collisions at a center-of-mass energy of $1.96\unit{TeV}$. The data were collected with the CDF II detector and correspond to an integrated luminosity of $5.3\unit{fb}^{-1}$. No significant excess above the standard model expectation is observed and we set upper limits on $\sigma \cdot \mathcal{B}(W^{\prime }\to e\nu )$. Assuming standard model couplings to fermions and the neutrino from the $W^{\prime }$ boson decay to be light, we exclude a $W^{\prime }$ boson with mass less than $1.12\unit{TeV/}c^2$ at the $95\unit{%}$ confidence level.
