Abstract: (arXiv)

We present the first search for an electrically charged resonance

W^\prime

decaying to a WZ boson pair using 4.1 fb

^{-1}

of integrated luminosity collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron

p\bar{p}

collider. The WZ pairs are reconstructed through their decays into three charged leptons (

\ell=e,\mu

). A total of 9 data events is observed in good agreement with the background prediction. We set 95% C.L. limits on the W'WZ coupling and on the W' production cross section multiplied by the branching fractions. We also exclude W' masses between 188 and 520 GeV within a simple extension of the standard model and set the most restrictive limits to date on low-scale Technicolor models.
