Description

English: Creator: Beutler, Margarete 1876-1949

Subject: Wu, C. S (Chien-shiung) 1912-1997 Lee, Y. K Mo, L. W Columbia University

Type: Black-and-white photographs

Date: 1963 3/20/1963

Topic: Physics Van de Graaff generator Women scientists

Local number: SIA Acc. 90-105 [SIA2010-1508]

Summary: The experiments of Columbia University physicists (left to right) Chien-shiung Wu (1912-1997), Y.K. Lee, and L.W. Mo confirmed the theory of conservation of vector current. In the experiments, which took several months to complete, proton beams from Columbia's Van de Graaff accelerator were transmitted through pipes to strike a 2 mm. Boron target at the entrance to a spectrometer chamber
