Abstract
Azimuthal asymmetries play an important role in scattering processes with polarized particles. This paper introduces a new procedure using event weighting to extract these asymmetries. It is shown that the resulting estimator has several advantages in terms of statistical accuracy, bias, assumptions on acceptance and luminosities compared to other estimators discussed in the literature.
