Just days after this experiment, Garwin, Lederman, and Weinrich verified its results by measuring muon spin polarization.
This experiment produced the most cited paper in the career of D.D. Hoppes. A follow-up to this experiment introduced diamagnetic bismuth ions to increase accuracy. This experiment used the Rose- Gorter method to prepare a thin surface layer of cerous magnesium nitrate. This experiment's setup included an adiabatic demagnetization cryostat containing an anthracene crystal that detected Gamow- Teller transitions, as well as two sodium iodide gamma scintillation counters. Just days after this experiment, Garwin, Lederman, and Weinrich verified its results by measuring muon spin polarization. This experiment found that beta decay of cobalt-60 occurred preferentially in the opposite direction of nuclear spin, thereby resolving the tau-theta puzzle and showing that all massless neutrinos are left- handed. For 10 points, name this 1956 experiment confirming parity violation in the weak interaction, performed by a female colleague of Lee and Yang.
This experiment produced the most cited paper in the career of D.D. Hoppes.
