Abstract: (Elsevier)
Parity-odd correlations among the fragmentation products of quarks should reveal the longitudinal polarization of these quarks. Possible applications of this idea include a new way to determine the Weinberg angle from data on neutrino reactions, a sensitive test of the quark-antiquark creation picture in e + e − annihilation, a way to determine the weak coupling of hypothetical heavy particles to light quarks and a test for the parton-parton scattering model with elementary gluon exchange for high p ⊥ events in nucleon-nucleon collisions.
