"Searches for W′ bosons decaying to a top quark and a bottom quark in proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV." Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017, (2017) Springer: https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP08(2017)029. https://hdl.handle.net/1911/103781 Searches are presented for heavy gauge bosons decaying into a top and a bottom quark in data collected by the CMS experiment at s√=13s=13 \sqrt{s}=13 TeV that correspond to an integrated luminosity of 2.2 and 2.6 fb−1 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′R) and the combined analyses exclude at 95% confidence level W′R with masses below 2.4 TeV if MW′R≫MνRMW′R≫MνR {M}_{\mathrm{W}{\prime}_{\mathrm{R}}}\gg {M}_{\nu_{\mathrm{R}}} (mass of the right-handed neutrino), and below 2.6 TeV if MW′R
