Production of right-handed gauge bosons and heavy Majorana neutrinos at the Superconducting Super Collider

The processes $p+p\to 2l^{\pm }+X$, $p+p\to W_R\to N+l+X$, and $p+p\to Z_R\to 2N+l+X$ (where $N$ is a heavy Majorana neutrino) are discussed and estimated at the energy scale of the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC). These reactions may serve as the indications of right-handed gauge bosons and heavy Majorana neutrinos that propagate in the intermediate state or are produced directly. The observation of same-sign charged-lepton pairs in final states is a possible clean signal for production of $W_R$, $Z_R$, and the heavy Majorana neutrino $N$. A detailed calculation shows that with suitable cuts the background can be overwhelmed by the signals for a wide range of right-handed gauge-boson and heavy-neutrino masses (from hundreds GeV to several TeV), and this signal is observable at the SSC. With the completion of the SSC, such experiments could be carried out.
