Results from a search for a neutral scalar produced in association with a W boson in $p\bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 1.8$ TeV

This paper presents a search for production of a hypothetical heavy particle {ital X} in association with a {ital W} boson. For the search presented here, the kinematics and acceptance are modelled under the assumption that the {ital X} particle has the spin and decay properties of the standard model Higgs boson with the modification that only {ital X} {r_arrow} {ital b}{ital {anti b}} decays are allowed. The {ital W} is required to decay via either the electron or muon mode. The complete D{null} 1992-1995 data set is used. This sample has an integrated luminosity of 100 pb{sup -1} and was taken at a center of mass energy of 1.8 TeV. Limits are placed on the number of associated production events and the production cross section.. Authors: Abachi, S.; Abbott, B.
