Description

The search for the discovery potential at the LHC of a high-mass right handed (RH) gauge boson WR which decays to a heavy neutrino and a lepton. The neutrinos that are produced are highly boosted and subsequently decay via off-shell WR boson to jets and a lepton (N→ljj). The decay products are highly collimated, formi ng a single neutrino jet. The focus is on the regime where the WR is very heavy compared to the heavy Majorana neutrino N. In ATLAS, a large radius jet with an electron inside has never been looked at. The performance study will be shown
