Details
LEE, T.D. and C.N. YANG. 3 papers published for the Nevis Cyclotron Laboratories, Columbia University Physics Department. Irvington-on-Hudson, January, 1957. 3 volumes, stiff printed wrappers. Comprises: "Parity Nonconservation and a Two-Component Theory of the Neutrino," and "Remarks on Noninvariance under Time Reversal and Charge Conjugation," and AUTHOR. "Observations of the Failure of Conservation of Parity and Charge Conjug ation in Meson Decays: The Magnetic Moment of the Free Muon,"
Lee and Yang were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957 for their work on violations of the principle of parity conservation. Parity conservation implies that when elementary (nuclear) particles collide, there is no preference for spatial direction relative to the line of collision for the particles resulting from the interaction. This discovery was key to later development of the particle physics theory. (3)
