We report the results of a search for a W' boson produced in
p anti-p collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.8 TeV using a 107 pb-1
data sample recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. We consider the
decay channel W' --> mu nu(mu) and search for anomalous production of high
transverse mass mu nu(mu) lepton pairs. We observe no excess of events above
background and set limits on the rate of W' boson production and decay
relative to Standard Model W boson production and decay using a fit of the
transverse mass distribution observed. If we assume Standard Model strength
couplings of the W' boson to quark and lepton pairs, we exclude a W#' boson
with invariant mass less than 660 GeV/c2 at 95% confidence level.
