First publication of the Rustad-Ruby experiment
When: February 15, 1953
Where: Upton, New York
The first report of the Rustad-Ruby experiment giving top-line results was published by The Physical Review six weeks after it was received. Editor Samuel Goudsmit greenlighted it in part because of its connection to C.S. Wu. Its conclusion favoring a tensor interaction in Gamow-Teller beta decays was widely accepted by the physics community.
