  "abstract": "We investigate theoretically the zero temperature conductance and magnetoconductance of ballistic \\textit{p-n} junctions in Weyl semimetals. Electron transport is mediated by Klein tunneling between \\textit{n}- and \\textit{p}- regions. The chiral anomaly that is realized in Weyl semimetals plays a crucial role in the magnetoconductance of the junction. For magnetic fields normal to the plane of the junction the magnetocondactance is positive and linear in $B$ at both weak and strong magnetic fields. In contrast, magnetocondactance in conventional \\textit{p-n} junctions is always negative.",
