December 1, 1952 Physica O. KOFOED-HANSEN NUCLEAR RECOIL AND DETECTION OF THE NEUTRINO

Review of early recoil experiments says Allen He6 result is “tentative”

 
September 1957 Proceedings of the Rehovot Conference on Nuclear Structure E. J. Konopinski Theory of the Classical Beta-Decay Measurements

Beta decay theorist E.J. Konopinski frames the experimental conundrum.

September 13, 1957 Proceedings of the Rehovot Conference on Nuclear Structure H. Frauenfelder Electron-Neutrino Angular Correlation

September 22, 1957 Proc. of the Conference on Mesons and Newly-Discovered Particles, Padua-Venice E. C. G. Sudarshan and R. E. Marshak The Nature of the Four-Fermion Interaction

Marshak gives Sudarshan’s experimental review at Padua conference, calling for the He6 experiment to be redone. This paper is the basis for Sudarshan and Marshak's claim of priority over Feynman and Gell-Mann for the V–A theory.
