We theoretically propose to directly observe the chiral nature of charge carriers in graphene mono- and bilayers within a controlled scattering experiment. The charge located on a capacitively coupled scanning probe microscope (SPM) tip acts as a scattering center with controllable position on the graphene sheet. Unambiguous features from the chirality of the particles in single and bilayer graphene arise in the ballistic transport in the presence of such a scattering center. To theoretically model the scattering from the smooth potential created by the SPM tip, we develop the scattering formalism within first-order Born approximation. We calculate the current through a device with an SPM tip between two constrictions (quantum point contacts) as a function of the tip position.
