Chirally Sensitive Electron-Induced Molecular Breakup and the Vester-Ulbricht Hypothesis

J. M. Dreiling and T. J. Gay

Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 118103 (2014) - Published 12 September, 2014

Experiments show that beams of left- or right-handed electrons are not equal-opportunity destroyers of molecules having two mirror-image forms, which supports the idea that primordial cosmic rays generated the asymmetry in biological molecules.
