1999 | Robert P. Crease | Making Physics: A Biography of Brookhaven National Laboratory, 1946-1972 | The author appears to be confused about Wu's comments at Rochester. She described her own unpublished helicity work, not new work by Rustad-Ruby. The Goldhaber anecdote leads in to a description of his neutrino helicity experiment, performed in November 1957, which further discredited the RR experiment. |
