Abstract
report the results of a search for a W' boson produced in p (p) over bar co llisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.8 TeV using a 107 pb(-1) data samp le recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. We consider the decay cha nnel W' --> mu nu(mu), and search for anomalous production of high transver se mass py, lepton pairs. We observe no excess of events above background a nd set limits on the rate of W' boson production and decay relative to stan dard model W boson production and decay using abt of the transverse mass di stribution observed. If we assume standard model strength couplings of the W' boson to quark and lepton pairs, we exclude a W' boson with invariant ma ss less than 660 GeV/c(2) at 95% confidence level.
