Abstract

We present a search for the decay W±→π±γ, using data taken at the CERN proton-antiproton Collider with the UA1 detector and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 0.7 pb-1. We do not observe a signal for such a process: hence we obtain an upper limit on the π±γ decay width of 5.8×10-2Γ (W±→e±v) (95%CL).
