%0 Journal Article %T Search for $W'\rightarrow t\bar{b}$ in the lepton plus jets final states with the ATLAS detector at the LHC %A Geoffrey Gilles %J Physics %D 2014 %I arXiv %X This document presents a search for a $W'$ boson, decaying to a top quark and a $b$ quark in an effective coupling approach, using a multivariate method based on boosted decision trees. It reports exclusion limits on the $W'\rightarrow tb$ cross-section times branching ratio and effective couplings as a function of the $W'$-boson mass. The search covers $W'$-boson masses between 0.5 and 3.0 TeV, for right-handed or left-handed $W'$-boson, with 20.3 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data produced by the LHC in 2012, at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV and collected by the ATLAS detector. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1411.7856v1
