Abstract
A comprehensive survey is presented of the polarization structure of the leading order QCD processes for the production of jets at largep t in photon-photon collisions which are the result of colliding positrons. Results are given for asymmetries. It is shown that by separating events with various jet topologies it is possible to investigate different aspects of polarization and QCD. For instance the four anf three jet process asymmetries are found to be sensitive to the relative magnitudes of the perturbative anf non-perturbative components of the photon structure function. A discussion is given of the usefulness of polarization in separating the two gluon jet subprocess. It is concluded that such experiments could be very useful in understanding QCD and the strong interactions.
