Abstract
The two-jet invariant mass spectrum as measured in the UA2 experiment is used to search for additional heavy vector bosons decaying to two-j ets. The mass of an additional W boson that couples to fermions with a V + A form is constrained to be greater than 261 GeV to the 90% confi dence level. A limit on the production cross section of additional W a nd Z bosons is given as a function of the boson mass. A limit on the p roduction of excited quarks is also given as a function of the excited quark mass.
