	Summary Technical Report 1991		Low-Temperature Alignment of Radioactive Nuclei	Summary of NBS nuclear alignment experiments
February 15, 1957	Physical Review	Chien-Shiung Wu, E. Ambler	Experimental Test of Parity Conservation in Beta Decay	Wu’s famous experiment that confirmed the Lee-Yang suggestion that left-right symmetry is not conserved in weak interactions. Another concurrently published experiment by Garwin and Lederman confirmed the theory in meson decays.

February 13, 1997	Nature		Parity and chivalry in nuclear physics	Argument by Oxford physicists for greater credit for parity violation experiment to the NBS team. Does Wu bear responsibility for others who have called it the Wu experiment, downplaying the NBS contribution. Garwin and Lederman replied in a letter to the editor.
