This Letter describes the search for a new heavy charged gauge boson W;{'} decaying into an electron and a neutrino. The data were collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron pp[over ] Collider at sqrt[s]=1.96 TeV, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of about 1 fb;{-1}. Lacking any significant excess in the data in comparison with known processes, an upper limit is set on sigma_{W;{'}}xB(W;{'}-->enu), and a W;{'} boson with mass below 1.00 TeV can be excluded at the 95% C.L., assuming standard-model-like couplings to fermions. This result significantly improves upon previous limits and is the most stringent to date.
