T. Affolder et al., Search for quark-lepton compositeness and a heavy W ' boson using the e nuchannel in p(p)over-bar collisions at root s=1.8 TeV - art. no 231803, PHYS REV L, 8723(23), 2001, pp. 1803
We present searches for quark-lepton compositeness and a heavy W' boson at
high electron-neutrino transverse mass. We use similar to 110 pb(-1) of dat
a collected in pp collisions at roots = 1.8 TeV by the CDF Collaboration du
ring 1992-1995. The data are consistent with standard model expectations. L
imits are set on the quark-lepton compositeness scale A, the ratio of parti
al cross sections sigma (W' --> e nu)/sigma (W --> e nu), and the mass of a
W' boson with standard model couplings. We exclude Lambda < 2.81 TeV and a
W' boson with mass below 754 GeV/c(2) at the 95% confidence level. Combini
ng with our previously published limit obtained using the muon channel, we
exclude a W' boson with mass below 786 GeV/c(2) at the 95% confidence level
