Search for the rare decay W{sup +-}{yields}{pi}{sup +-} + {gamma} in proton-antiproton collisions at {radical}{ovr s}=1.8 TeV.

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D
We have searched for the rare decay W{sup {+-}}{yields}{pi}{sup {+-}}+{gamma} in 83 pb{sup -1} of data taken in proton-antiproton collisions at sqrt[s] = 1.8 TeV with the Collider Detector at Fermilab. We find three events in the signal region and estimate the background to be 5.2{+-}1.5 events. We set a 95% confidence level upper limit of 7x10{sup -4} on the ratio of partial widths, {Gamma}(W{sup {+-}}{yields}{pi}{sup {+-}}+{gamma})/{Gamma}(W{sup {+-}}{yields}e{sup {+-}}+v).
