New insights into old problems [videorecording]: on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the non-conservation of parity experiment at NBS, 2005.
A session of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Colloquium Series, held in 2005 to celebrate the 2006 50th anniversary of the measurement of the non-conservation of parity in the beta decay of Co60. The measurement was made at National Bureau of Standards (NBS) on December 27, 1956, and confirmed a theory advanced earlier that year by T.D. Lee and C. N. Yang. This lecture by professor T. D. Lee is the first in a series to commemorate significant achievements by NBS/NIST staff. Lee will discuss the importance of symmetry principles, the impact of the parity discovery on later research, and some of his recent research on the fundamental properties of matter. Members of the 1956 NBS team of researchers recounted their experiences as well.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is a measurement standards laboratory, which is a non-regulatory agency of the United States Department of Commerce. The institute's official mission is to promote innovation and industrial competitiveness in the United States by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve quality of life. NIST was known between 1901 and 1988 as the National Bureau of Standards (NBS).
