Photoionization experiments are a prime tool to investigate chirality of molecules in the gas phase. In this project we will develop a time-dependent ab initio description of such experiments, addressing the challeng-es of an adequate model for the chiral photoelectron continuum and a systematic treatment of electron cor-relation. Combining this approach with quantum control theory, we seek to determine the ultimate strength of chiral signals that can be obtained with randomly oriented molecules.
