Abstract:
We report the results of a search for a W' boson produced in pp -bar
collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.8 TeV using a 106 pb-1 data
sample recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. We observe no
significant excess of events above background for a W' boson decaying
to a top and bottom quark pair. In a model where this boson would
mediate interactions involving a massive right-handed neutrino ( nu R)
and have standard model strength couplings, we use these data to
exclude a W' boson with mass between 225 and 536 GeV/c2 at 95%
confidence level for MW' >> M nu R and between 225 and 566 GeV/c2 at
95% confidence level for MW'
