Abstract

We discuss the measurement of parity-violating asymmetries in polarized-proton-proton scattering at high energy as a method of extracting the hadronic decays of the intermediate vector boson from the high-transverse-momentum hadronic background. In particular we present predictions for these asymmetries for jet production through the charged and neutral vector bosons. The asymmetries are very large and the method looks promising.
