SINGLE W-R PRODUCTION IN E(-)E(-)-COLLISIONS AT THE NEXT LINEAR COLLIDER

Single W-R production in e(-)e(-) collisions at the NLC can be used to probe the Majorana nature of the heavy neutrinos present in the left- right symmetric model below the kinematic threshold for their direct p roduction. For colliders in the root s = 1 - 1.5 TeV range, typical cr oss sections of order 1-10 fb are obtained, depending on the specific choice of model parameters. Backgrounds arising from standard model pr ocesses are shown to be small. This analysis greatly extends the kinem atic range of previous studies wherein the production of an on-shell, like-sign pair of W-R's at the NLC was considered.
