abstract = {A search for a new charged particle X with mass between 0.3
and 2.0 TeV decaying to a W boson and a photon is presented,
using proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass
energy of 13 TeV, collected by the CMS experiment and
corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$.
Particle X has electric charge $\pm$1 and is assumed to have
spin 0. The search is performed using the electron and muon
decays of the W boson. No significant excess above the
predicted background is observed. The upper limit at 95\%
confidence level on the product of the production cross
section of the X and its branching fraction to a W boson and
a photon is found to be 94 (137) fb for a 0.3 TeV resonance
and 0.75 (0.81) fb for a 2.0 TeV resonance, for an X
width-to-mass ratio of 0.01\% (5\%). This search presents
the most stringent constraints to date on the existence of
such resonances across the probed mass range. A statistical
combination with an earlier study based on the hadronic
decay mode of the W boson is also performed, and the upper
limit at 95\% confidence level for a 2.0 TeV resonance is
reduced to 0.50 (0.63) fb for an X width-to-mass ratio of
0.01\% (5\%).},
