October 1943	Reviews of Modern Physics	Emil Jan Konopinski	Beta-Decay
October 1, 1948	Physical Review	R. D. Albert and C. S. Wu	The Beta-Spectrum of S³⁵	Representative of many beta spectrum studies Wu did with collaborators throughout this period
January 15, 1949	Physical Review	C. S. Wu and R. D. Albert	The Beta-Ray Spectra of Cu⁶⁴	Thin source obtained with soap bubble process obtains result expected by Fermi theory, clearing away earlier experimental confusion caused by thick sources.
January 1, 1950	Physical Review	P. Macklin, L. Feldman, L. Lidofsky, and C. S. Wu	The Beta-Spectrum of Ca⁴⁵
October 1950	Reviews of Modern Physics	Chien-Shiung Wu	Recent Investigation of the Shapes of Beta-Ray Spectra	Invited paper at APS New York 1950 summarized Wu's beta-decay experimental work.
September 15, 1952	Physical Review	C. S. Wu, B. M. Rustad, V. Perez-Mendez, and L. Lidofsky	The Beta-Spectrum of He⁶	Used Columbia spectrometer to calculate revised comparative lifetime of He6
December 1, 1952	Physica	C. S. Wu	BETA DISINTEGRATION, ALLOWED AND FORBIDDEN DECAY	Wu overiew of the coupling constant problem.  Covers recalculation of He6 endpoint.  Cites prepublication R-R work via private communication.
September 15, 1956	Physical Review	A. Schwarzschild, B. M. Rustad, and C. S. Wu	Decay of A⁴¹	Note the three authors . Rustad remained in the fold before and after the reversal of the Rustad-Ruby experiment. Schwarzchild would later collaborate with Wu on the Critical Examination report.
October 1, 1956	Physical Review	O. C. Kistner, A. Schwarzschild, and B. M. Rustad	Decay of A³⁵	Finds that A35 is a suitable source for identifying the Fermi invariant in the beta- decay interaction by an angular correlation experiment. Later, such an experiment by Hammersfeld was a key piece of evidence in the RR reversal.
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.
July 1, 1959	Reviews of Modern Physics	C. S. Wu	Parity Experiments in Beta Decays	Wu evaluates the history of “classical” (pre-parity) beta-decay experiments in this 1959 review.
1960		C. S. Wu	The Neutrino	Chapter in Wolfgang Pauli memorial volume edited by Fierz and Weisskopf shows Wu's summary of recoil experiment history in 1960, citing her CU-172 report.
August 1967	Physics Today	Lee Grodzins	The book	Brookhaven/MIT physicist Grodzins reviews the classic 1966 work by Wu and Moszkowski,
1996	Monographs and Texts in Physics and Astronomy	C.S. Wu and S.A. Moszkowski	Beta Decay	Wu's readable textbook about Beta Decay includes a historical review, including a more distant review of the He6 events
