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 e-R e+L 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.
