T1  - ATLAS search for a heavy gauge boson decaying to a charged lepton and a neutrino in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV
JF  - The European Physical Journal C
N2  - The ATLAS detector at the LHC is used to search for high-mass states, such as heavy charged gauge bosons (W′), decaying to a charged lepton (electron or muon) and a neutrino. Results are presented based on the analysis of pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7  TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb\(^{−1}\). No excess beyond Standard Model expectations is observed. A W′ with Sequential Standard Model couplings is excluded at the 95 % credibility level for masses up to 2.55  TeV. Excited chiral bosons (W∗) with equivalent coupling strength are excluded for masses up to 2.42  TeV.
