Multiple experiments to test whether it is always conserved were proposed by two physicists as a possible resolution of the tau-theta puzzle. The first experiment that proved that it is not always conserved observed anisotropy in the emission of electrons in beta decay of magnetically aligned cobalt-60 nuclei, and was led by Madame Wu. Laporte's rule, a statement of its conservation by the electromagnetic force, states that electric dipole transitions must connect states with different eigenvalues of the operator of this name. The operator of this name has 1 and −1 as its only eigenvalues, and corresponds to reflection through the origin. For ten points, name this property, thought to be conserved in combination with time reversal and charge conjugation, which can be even or odd.
