Abstract
We calculate the rates for lepton number violating processes via the exchange of the boson occurring in top-color assisted technicolor. We find that conversion in nuclei is about an order of magnitude better than for constraining the magnitudes of the lepton mixing angles. The decay yields much weaker bounds. The current experimental limits allow for a mass of the new gauge boson around and the magnitudes of the mixing angles turn out to lie roughly between the analogous elements of the CKM matrix and its square root.
