Abstract: (APS)
A possibility of a very clean signature for the production of WR± is pointed out. If the right-handed neutrino is lighter than WR±, left-right symmetric gauge theory predicts the decay WR+→μ+μ++2 hadronic jets, with the branching ratio ∼3%. The lack of neutrinos in the final state and the absence of a sizable background make WR± rather easy to detect (if it exists). Detailed predictions regarding the production and decay rates of WR+ are presented.- GAUGE FIELD THEORY: SU(2) X SU(2) X U(1)
