Proton Irradiation Effects on Stable Chiral Amino Acid Radicals

Explore the effects of proton irradiation on stable chiral amino acid radicals in this conference talk from AbGradCon 2023. Presented by Máté Szarka at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, CA, this 20-minute presentation delves into cutting-edge research in astrobiology. Gain insights into the complex interactions between radiation and organic molecules, a topic crucial for understanding the potential for life in extraterrestrial environments. Learn about the methodologies used to study these effects and their implications for the stability and evolution of amino acids under space-like conditions. This talk is part of the Astrobiology Graduate Conference, an event dedicated to fostering collaboration and showcasing research by early-career scientists in the multidisciplinary field of astrobiology.
