Title: Majorana Neutrinos and the Production of the Right-Handed Charged Gauge Boson

If the right-handed neutrino is lighter than ${{W}_{R}}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}$, left-right symmetric gauge theory predicts the decay ${{W}_{R}}^{+}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\mu}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\mu}}^{+}+2$ hadronic jets, with the branching ratio \ensuremath{\sim}3%. The lack of neutrinos in the final state and the absence of a sizable background make ${{W}_{R}}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}$ rather easy to detect (if it exists). Detailed predictions regarding the production and decay rates of ${{W}_{R}}^{+}$ are presented.Read More
