Abstract

We show that the associated production ppWWpp\to W^{\prime}W, and the rare decay ppWˉWpp\to W'\to \bar\ell\ell W are useful tests of WW' couplings to fermions at future hadron colliders. For MW(13)M_{W'}\sim (1 - 3) TeV they would allow a clean determination on whether the WW' couples to VAV-A or V+AV+A currents. As an illustration a model in which the W±W^{\prime\pm} couples only to VAV-A currents is contrasted to the left-right symmetric models which involve V+AV+A currents.
