In this paper, we present the differential decay distributions for $\bar B \to D^{(*)} \ell \bar{X}$ decays with a massive right-handed neutrino in the low-energy effective field theory framework and show how the massive effects of the RH…
Chiral molecules are instrumental for molecular recognition in living organisms. Distinguishing between two opposite enantiomers, the mirror twins of the same chiral molecule, is both vital and challenging. Photoelectron circular dichroism…
We derive an electric current density $j_{em}$ in the presence of a magnetic field $B$ and a chiral chemical potential $\mu_5$. We show that $j_{em}$ has not only the anomaly-induced term $\propto \mu_5 B$ (i.e. Chiral Magnetic Effect) but…
We discuss the phenomenology of right-handed charged currents in the framework of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory, in which they arise due to a single gauge-invariant dimension-six operator. We study the manifestations of the nine…

Electron transmission through chiral molecules induced by circularly polarized light can be very different for mirror-image structures, a peculiar fact given that the electronic energy spectra of the systems are identical. We propose that…
