Extending the Kinematic Range for $W_R$ Searches in $e^-e^-$ Collisions at the NLC
Abstract
While the much discussed lepton-number violating process provides an excellent probe of both the Majorana nature of the right-handed neutrino and the symmetry breaking sector of the Left-Right Symmetric Model, it is likely that 's are too massive to be pair produced at the NLC with in the 1-1.5 TeV range. We are thus lead to consider the single production process in order to expand the collider's kinematic reach. After pointing out that 's with masses of order 1 TeV may be missed by future hadron collider searches, we demonstrate that this three-body process possesses a significant cross section, of order several fb, at the NLC with in the range above. The angular distribution of the produced 's is shown to be essentially flat and the potential backgrounds from standard model processes are shown to be small.
