Abstract
Ionizing Radiation: Friend or Foe of the Origins of Life?
Highlights
Ionizing radiation is defined as electromagnetic or corpuscular radiation, of energy of quanta resp. particles, which are able to detach an electron from any atom or molecule, as an object of interaction
All kinds of ionizing radiations were represented, of different particles and quanta and of very different quality expressed by their LET value (Zagórski 2010a, b, c)
For instance they could not contribute to the separation of racemic mixtures into separate enantiomorphic species
Summary
Ionizing radiation is defined as electromagnetic or corpuscular radiation, of energy of quanta resp. particles, which are able to detach an electron from any atom or molecule, as an object of interaction. In spite of no optical activity segregation, one can call ionizing radiation and its cousins in the high energy chemistry family friends to the origins of life chemistry.
