A correlation in x-ray resonant scattering between crystal chirality and circular polarization (helicity) is explored in the context of an analysis of Bragg diffraction from low quartz (α-SiO(2)). There is a one-to-one correlation between chirality and helicity when one resonant event is present in diffraction and thus, in this simple case, resonant Bragg diffraction of circularly polarized x-rays is a direct probe of crystal chirality. The presence of more than one resonant event is shown to add phase relations to the scattering amplitude and then coupling of helicity and chirality is no longer transparent.
