Observation of Single Isolated Electrons of High Transverse Momentum in Events with Missing Transverse Energy at the CERN anti-p p Collider
Phys. Lett. 122B (1983) 476;

Abstracts
We report the results of a search for single isolated electrons of high transverse momentum at the CERN anti-pp collider. Above 15 GeV/c, four events are found having large missing transverse energy along a direction opposite in azimuth to that of the high-p_T electron. Both the configuration of the events and their number are consistent with the expectations from the process anti-p p → W^± anything, with W → e ν, where W^± is the charged Intermediate Vector Boson postulated by the unified electroweak theory.
