【 摘 要 】

We report the fragmentation of the isotopically chiral molecule CHCl2Br into its five constituent atoms, induced by a fs laser field and measured in coincidence. Results show that a clear distinction between right-handed and left-handed enantiomer is possible for individual molecules. These findings open up exciting new possibilities for the investigation of chiral molecules.
