The dichroism in photoemission from chiral molecules is observed for the first time. Particles consisting of chiral molecules are suspended in air and irradiated alternately with right and left circularly polarized uv light. We found a polarization dependence in the total photoelectric current. The asymmetries observed are of the order of 10{sup {minus}2} to 10{sup {minus}3} , as expected from perturbation theory, and reverse their sign when the handedness of the molecules is changed. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
