AbstractThese experiments involve the scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons from chiral molecules. We hope to observe a phenomenon called electron circular dichroism, which is directly analogous to the effect seen when circularly polarized light passes through a solution of chiral molecules. In a separate test, we also hope to observe a chiral dependency of the scattering process known as dissociative electron attachment.
