Abstract
We show that the associated production pp --> W'W and the rare decay p p --> W' --> llWBAR are useful tests of W' couplings to fermions at fu ture hadron colliders. For M(w), approximately (1-3) TeV they would al low a clean determination on whether the W' couples to V - A or V + A currents. As an illustration a model in which the W'+/- couples only t o V - A currents is contrasted with the left-right-symmetric models wh ich involve V + A currents.
