What is recorded here?
Measured an asymmetry in electron emission from polarized cobalt-60 nuclei, demonstrating parity violation in beta decay.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The result concerns weak interactions. Wu, Ambler, Hayward, Hoppes and Hudson share the reported experiment; a prize list is not the byline.
