  "abstract": "We consider the process $e^+e^-\\to N_1N_2$, where $N_1$ and $N_2$ are heavy Majorana particles, with relative $CP$ given by $\\eta_{CP}=+1$ or $-1$, decaying subsequently via $N_1,N_2\\to W^{\\pm}e^{\\mp}$. We derive the energy and angle correlation of the dilepton final state, both for like-sign ($e^{\\mp}e^{\\mp}$) and unlike-sign ($e^-e^+$) configurations. Interesting differences are found between the cases $\\eta_{CP}=+1$ and $-1$. The characteristics of unlike-sign $e^+e^-$ dileptons originating from a Majorana pair $N_1N_2$ are contrasted with those arising from the reaction $e^+e^-\\to N\\bar{N}\\to W^+e^-W^-e^+$, where $N\\bar{N}$ is a Dirac particle-antiparticle pair.",
