Spontaneous mirror symmetry breaking in the limited enantioselective autocatalysis model: abyssal hydrothermal vents as scenario for the emergence of chirality in prebiotic chemistry.

The emergence of chirality in enantioselective autocatalysis for compounds unable to transform according to the Frank-like reaction network is discussed with respect to the controversial limited enantioselectivity (LES) model composed of coupled enantioselective and non-enantioselective autocatalyses. The LES model cannot lead to spontaneous mirror symmetry breaking (SMSB) either in closed syst...

نقش شکست تقارن بار در اختلاف انرژی بستگی هسته‌های آینه‌ای 15O-15N و 17F-17O

  Charge symmetry breaking potentials due to the exchange of pseudoscalar and vector mesons in mirror nuclei are considered. With the computation of coulmb energy along with the present charge symmetry breaking effects provide a reasonably accurate description of the binding energy differences between mirror nuclei.

Mirror symmetry breaking upon spontaneous crystallization from a dynamic combinatorial library of macrocyclic imines.

Spontaneous emergence of solid state chirality and mirror symmetry breaking occurred upon crystallization from a small templated dynamic combinatorial library (DCL) of achiral macrocyclic imines, and depended strongly on the nature of library building blocks (amines, aldehydes, template cations and anions) and crystallization temperature.

Dynamical Symmetry Breaking with Mirror Fermions

Mirror fermions with masses around the weak scale could break dynamically the electro-weak symmetry if they were coupled with a new strong interaction. The purpose of this talk is to show what sort of dynamics are needed in order to render such theories phenomenologically viable.
