Abstract: We present a search for the production of a heavy gauge boson W′ decaying into a top quark and a bottom quark using a dataset collected during 2012 by the CMS experiment at √s=8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.6 fb−1. We study different models of W′ boson production in the W′ to tb decay mode, investigating an arbitrary combination of left- and right-handed couplings. The analysis is based on events with the final state signature lepton (e,μ) plus jets and missing transverse energy. We find no evidence for W′ boson production and set 95\% C.L. upper limits on the production cross-section. For W′ bosons with purely right-handed couplings, and for those with left-handed couplings when ignoring interference with the Standard Model, the observed (expected) 95\% C.L. limit is MW′> 2.03(2.09) TeV. | ||
