Chiral Molecule Scattering Experiments

Polarized Electron - Chiral Molecule Scattering Experiments
Behlen Laboratory of Physics
University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Participants: 
Joan Dreiling (grad. student)
Prof. Tim Gay (advisor)


Abstract
These 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.
