On chiral molecular prototypes we will address three different ultrafast processes: 1) We will create an electronic Rydberg wavepacket with circularly polarized light resulting in a Kepler type of orbit. This loosely bound electron will therefore scout different areas of the chiral molecule. Time resolved photoelectron circular dichroism (PECD) will sense these neutral electron dynamics influenced by vibrational dynamics. 2) We will change the frequency ordering in a white light continuum and investigate how temporal ordering of electronic excitations is reflected in the PECD signal. 3) We will study PECD from the frozen nuclear configuration limit to the own-state picture limit.
