I was looking into Wiley's online version of this book as possible source for the Wu experiment, but the book is incorrect about the results of that experiment. Wu's paper says

The sign of the asymmetry coefficient, o., is negative, that is, the emission of beta particles is more favored in the direction opposite to that of the nuclear spin.

Several secondary sources say the same. Johnjbarton (talk) 01:50, 17 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
