Abstract

We consider the reaction ee ->qqQQ as a test of lepton number non-conservation in the framework of the left-right-symmetric electroweak model. The main contributions to this process are due to Majorana neutrino exchange in t-channel and doubly charged Higgs (Delta--) exchange in s-channel with a pair of right-handed weak bosons (WR) as intermediate state. We show that in a linear ee collider with the collision energy of 1 TeV (1.5 TeV) the cross section of this process is 0.01 fb (1 fb), and it will, for the anticipated luminosity of 10**35 cm**-2, be detectable below the WR threshold. We study the sensitivity of the reaction on the masses of the heavy neutrino, WR and Delta--.
