We report on a search for right-handed W bosons (WR) with mass greater than 200 GeV/c2. We used data collected with the DO detector at the Fermilab Tevatron p p̄ collider at √s = 1.8 TeV to search for WR decays into an electron and a massive right-handed neutrino WR +- → e+-NR. Using the inclusive electron data, we set mass limits independent of the NR decay: mWR > 650 GeV/c2 and mWR > 720 GeV/c2 at the 95% confidence level, valid for mNR > 1/2mWR and mNR ≪ mWR. respectively. The latter also represents a new lower limit on the mass of a heavy left-handed W boson (W') decaying into ev. In addition, limits on mWRvalid for larger values of the NR mass are obtained assuming that NR decays to an electron and two jets.
