Abstract
Several signatures for right-handed W () production in collider experiments are noted. If the right-handed neutrino N is too heavy to permit the decay →eN, the decay →t+(d, s, or b) may still be allowed. Given present limits on the top-quark mass, it is then likely that t will decay 100% of the time to W+b. We thus urge that the signature W+2 jets be examined for clusters of events consistent with M(W++)=, M(W+)=. Some decay modes involving the right-handed neutrino are also mentioned briefly.
