Electron dynamics in chiral systems: From structure determination to violation of fundamental symmetries — •Robert Berger — Technische Universitaet Darmstadt, Darmstadt, Germany

Chiral systems serve as versatile laboratories for detailed studies on the intriguing interplay between handed objects, be they circularly polarised light, polarised electrons, neutrinos or chiral nuclear arrangements. The study of electron dynamics in such systems allows for instance to determine the specific handedness of a chiral system or even to unravel underlying symmetry principles of the fundamental laws of nature.

In this contribution, the diverse role of electron dynamics in chiral systems will be outlined and recent applications in determination of molecular structure, namely absolute configuration of handed molecules, will be presented. Additionally, fundamental symmetries and detection of their violations in chiral systems will be discussed, ranging from nuclear spin-dependent parity violation in diatomic and polyatomic molecules to parity and time-reversal violating features like the electron electric dipole moment.
