Search for heavy neutrinos and right-handed W bosons in events with two leptons and jets in pp collisions at √s =7 TeV with the ATLAS detector

This letter reports on a search for hypothetical heavy neutrinos, N, and right-handed gauge bosons, W R , in events with high transverse momentum objects which include two reconstructed leptons and at least one hadronic jet. The results were obtained from data corresponding to an integrated luminosi...
