Search for production of $WW\mathrm{/}WZ$ resonances decaying to a lepton, neutrino and jets in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector

A search is presented for narrow diboson resonances decaying to $WW$ or $WZ$ in the final state where one $W$ boson decays leptonically (to an electron or a muon plus a neutrino) and the other $W\mathrm{/}Z$ boson decays hadronically. The analysis is performed using an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb${}^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 8 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. No evidence for resonant diboson production is observed, and resonance masses below 700 GeV and 1490 GeV are excluded at 95% confidence level for the spin-2 Randall-Sundrum bulk graviton $G^{\ast }$ with coupling constant of 1.0 and the extended gauge model $W^{\mathrm{\prime }}$ boson respectively.
