  We explore the potential of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in detecting a
signal originating from the production of a heavy $SU(2)_R$ charged gauge boson
that then decays into a top-bottom quark pair via the mediation of a
right-handed neutrino, $p p \to W_R \to N_R \ell \to (\ell' t b)\ell$. Such a
channel, that we study in the context of the minimal Left-Right Symmetric
Model, contrasts with conventional smoking-gun signatures targeted
experimentally and phenomenologically in which only light quarks are involved.
We propose a selection strategy aimed at extracting such a top-bottom signal
and we estimate the resulting sensitivity of the LHC to the model. Our results
demonstrate the potential impact of such a search and we therefore urge the
experimental collaborations to carry out a similar analysis in the light of
present and future data.
