Abstract
The study of chiral molecules using Compton scattering is an area that holds promise for further exploration. The current paper presents a preliminary and relatively simple discussion on the possibility of applying Compton ionization to enantiomeric recognition. By focusing on two different types of chiral hydrogen, we find that the momentum spectrum of Compton electrons can encode chiral features, whereas the light-scattering spectra may not necessarily do so. In particular, the momentum spectrum can also exhibit chirality. These results could provide valuable insights and recommendations for the investigation of actual chiral molecules.
