Scientific paper

A dynamical mechanism is found whereby a dissymmetric molecule and its mirror image are ionized as different rates by longitudinally polarized electrons such as produced by nuclear β decay. An enhancement is predicted for molecules containing heavy atoms. Order-of-magnitude estimates indicate that the asymmetric effect of this mechanism may be detectable by current experiments on positronium formation.
