Abstract

We have searched for new, heavy, charged bosons

W^{'}

through the decay

W^{'} \to e ν

in

p \bar{p}

collisions at

\sqrt{s} = 1.8

TeV. The data used in the search represent 19.7 p

b^{- 1}

collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. Limits are placed on

σ B (p \bar{p} \to W^{'} \to e ν)

as a function of

M_{W^{'}}

. Assuming standard couplings of the

W^{'}

to fermions, we establish the limit

M_{W^{'}} > 652

GeV

{/ c}^{2}

(95% C.L.).
