A statistical method is presented which the information provided by a small number of nuclear scatters of protons from LAMBDA /sup 0/ decay can be used to determine the sign of the asymmetry parameter caused by parity non- conservation in LAMBDA /sup 0/ decay. As an example, the analysis is applied to the scattering of twenty one protons that are produced in LAMBDA /sup 0/ decay, in a cloud chamber. Because the asymmetry to be expected in each observed nuclear scatter is small, the data do not yield a statistically significant result. However, observation of a large number of events should mske possible a determination of the sign with a high degree of certainty. (auth)
