โฆ Synopsis
An experiment is outlined for measuring the small energy difference between two enantiomers due to the parity-violating weak neutral current perturbation. The method is based on the violation of the selection rules for the time evolution of states of well defined initial parity in isolated molecules. It could confirm or reject recent quantitative theoretical estimates of parity-violating energy differences.
