Abstract

A search is performed in pp collisions at sqrt[s]=7TeV for exotic particles decaying via WZ to final states with electrons and muons. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of approximately 5fb^{-1}. No significant excess is observed in the data above the expected standard model background. Upper bounds at 95% confidence level are set on the production cross section of the W^{'} boson described by the sequential standard model and on the W^{'} WZ coupling. W^{'} bosons with masses below 1143GeV are excluded. Limits are also set in the context of low-scale technicolor models, under a range of assumptions concerning the model parameters.
