Description
We present the search for W' -> tb using the LHC pp collision data collected with the ATLAS detector at a center-of- mass energy of 8 TeV. The primary backgrounds to this search are ttbar, W+jets, and multijets processes. To reduce the contributions of these backgrounds we require a leptonic final state and use Boosted Decision Trees to discriminate against background-like events. This measurement gives the latest limits on the W' -> tb cross section times branching ratio and the ratio of coupling constants g'/g as functions of the W' mass.
