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