Abstract
The production of heavy-lepton pairs by longitudinally polarized colliding beams induces a parity-violating correlation in the angular distribution of the daughter leptons. The dependence of the parity asymmetry on the beam and lepton energy is studied in and current models for the heavy lepton. Large asymmetries are expected from the threshold of heavy-lepton production to very high energies. The energy-integrated angular distribution of the detected leptons becomes parity-symmetric at very high energies.
