Abstract

We consider the possibility of observing a parity-violating but CP-conserving interaction in the symmetry-breaking sector of the electroweak theory. We find that the best probe for such an interaction is a forward-backward asymmetry in W+W- production from polarized eR-eL+ collisions. An observable asymmetry would be strong evidence against a custodial SU(2) symmetry. We also discuss the effects of such an interaction in future e-γ colliders as well as in rare decays of K and B mesons.
