Polarized Electrons and the Origin of Optical Activity
Abstract
The history of experiments bearing on the origin of optical activity in nature by parity non‐conservation during the β‐decay of radioactive isotopes is briefly reviewed. Following this, we present a more detailed description of our recent published and unpublished data and calculations regarding the generation of optical activity in DL‐leucine by means of artificially produced longitudinally polarized electrons from a linear accelerator.

Experimental attempts to validate the Vester-Ulbricht hypothesis only led to poorly conclusive results.
“From the sixties to the eighties, 212-220 many experimental attempts to show the validity of the ''V-U hypothesis'', generally by photolysis of amino acids in the presence of a number of b-emitting radionuclides or through self-irradiation of 14 C-labeled amino acids, only led to poorly conclusive results.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
