Abstract: (Springer)
Searches are presented for heavy gauge bosons decaying into a top and a bottom quark in data collected by the CMS experiment at TeV that correspond to an integrated luminosity of 2.2 and 2.6 fb in the leptonic and hadronic analyses, respectively. Two final states are analyzed, one containing a single electron, or muon, and missing transverse momentum, and the other containing multiple jets and no electrons or muons. No evidence is found for a right-handed W′ boson (W′) and the combined analyses exclude at 95% confidence level W′ with masses below 2.4 TeV if (mass of the right-handed neutrino), and below 2.6 TeV if . The results provide the most stringent limits for right-handed W′ bosons in the top and bottom quark decay channel.Note:
