Data were collected in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of √s = 13 TeV and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb⁻¹. This analysis searches for W′ bosons in the W′ > tb̅ decay channel in final states with an electron or muon plus jets. The search covers resonance masses between 0.5 and 5.0 TeV and considers right-handed W′ bosons. No significant deviation from the Standard Model (SM) expectation is observed and upper limits are set on the W′ > tb̅ cross section times branching ratio and the W′ boson effective couplings as a function of the W′ boson mass. For right-handed W′ bosons with coupling to the SM particles equal to the SM weak coupling constant, masses below 3.15 TeV are excluded at the 95% confidence level. This search is also combined with a previously published ATLAS result for W′ > tb̅ in the fully hadronic final state. Using the combined searches, right-handed W′ bosons with masses below 3.25 TeV are excluded at the 95% confidence level.enCC BY 4.0 (Attribution)©2019http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Transverse momentumPair productionW bosonsAstronomyAstrophysicsLarge Hadron Collider (France and Switzerland)Proton-proton interactionsBranching ratios (Nuclear physics)articleAaboud, M., G.
