For top-quarks produced via the subprocess $q\bar q\to t\bar t$, the longitudinal t-quark polarization ($P_{\parallel}$) vanishes in QCD. $P_{\parallel}$ can be measured by the angular distribution of the lepton in $t$-quark semileptonic decay. New physics contributions that are parity nonconserving will be manifest by non-vanishing $P_{\parallel}$, which may be large. We illustrate this with the s-channel exchange of a massive $X$-gluon with chiral quark couplings.
