Description

We identify and calculate the independent quantities that determine arbitrarily polarized Bhabha and Moller scattering, for left-right-asymmetric theories. Longitudinal polarization of either beam appears most useful, in either Bhabha or Moller scattering, in discriminating between the SU(2) x U(1) theory and certain classes of extended theories. Transverse beam polarization would in Bhabha scattering at high energies, √s approx. =M/sub Z/, provide a very clear distinction between theories in which the e+e-Z0 coupling is dominantly axial vector and theories where it is dominantly vector
