Electron asymmetries in the photoionization of chiral molecules: possible astrophysical implications

Photoelectron circular dichroism (PECD) is an intense orbital-specific chiroptical effect observed as asymmetries in the angular distribution of photoelectrons produced by photoionization of randomly oriented pure enantiomers with circularly polarized light. After a broad introduction placing this e...
