Sites That Can Produce Left-Handed Amino Acids in the Supernova Neutrino Amino Acid Processing Model [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1802.08285


The Supernova Neutrino Amino Acid Processing model, which uses electron anti-neutrinos and the magnetic field from a source object such as a supernova to selectively destroy one amino acid chirality, is studied for possible sites that would produce meteoroids having partially left-handed amino acids. Several sites appear to provide the requisite magnetic field intensities and electron anti-neutrino fluxes. These results have obvious implications for the origin of life on Earth.
