Before1956,WuJianxiongwasalreadywell-knowntothenuclearphysicscommunityforhisdetailedandvariedexperimentalworkonbetadecay.In1956,afterLiZhengdaoandYangZhenningproposedthattheparitymightnotbeconservedduringthebetadecayprocess,WuJianxiongimmediatelyledherteamtoconductanexperimentinwhichthecobalt-60nucleusspindirectionwasdirectedbyastrongmagneticfieldataverylowtemperature(0.01K).Polarization(evenifthespinsarealmostallinthesamedirection),andobservetheexitdirectionofelectronsemittedbytheβdecayofthecobalt-60nucleus.Theyfoundthattheexitdirectionofmostelectronsisoppositetothespindirectionofthecobalt-60nucleus.Inotherwords,thespindirectionofthecobalt-60nucleusandtheexitdirectionofitsbetadecayelectronsformaleft-handedspiralinsteadofaright-handedspiral.Butifparityisconserved,itmustbesymmetrical,andthetwoopportunitiesforleft-handedspiralsareequal.Therefore,thisexperimentalresultconfirmsthenon-conservationofparityinweakinteractions.Asaresult,ithashadanextremelyfar-reachinginfluenceinthefieldofphysics.

4.Experimentsonthebasictheoryofquantummechanics

In1935,WuJianxiongpublishedareportbyEinstein,Podolsky,andRosen.ThispaperraisedquestionsaboutthecompletenessofthedescriptionofquantummechanicscreatedbytheCopenhagenSchool,andtheirviewscanbereducedtoaparadox.Duetodifferentviewsontheconceptofmeasurabilityandprobabilityofphysicalquantitiesinquantummechanics,Einsteinalwaysbelievedthatthereshouldbeanideal,definitetheorywithacompletedescriptionofthephysicalessencetoreplacethecurrentmathematicalstructureofquantummechanics.Thisledtotheemergenceofthe"hiddenvariabletheory"later,thatis,thebeliefthatthe"probability"inquantummechanicsistheresultofsomekindofaveragingofsomecurrentlyunknown"hiddenvariables".Therefore,fordecades,somephysicistshavetriedtofindthese"hiddenvariables"toestablishanewandcompletequantummechanics,buttheyhavenotsucceeded.Otherphysicistsdenytheexistenceofthese"hiddenvariables".Infact,ithasbeenprovedthatundercertainconditionsofHilbert,thecurrentmathematicalstructureofquantummechanicsdoesnotallowfortheexistenceofhiddenvariables.

WuJianxiongandotherspublishedanarticleon"AngularCorrelationofScatteredAnnihilationRadiation"asearlyas1950.Experimentsshowthatthepositiveandnegativeelectronswithzeroangularmomentumpairthetwolightquantaemittedafterannihilation.AspredictedbyDirac'stheory,theywillbepolarizedatrightanglestoeachother,whichalsoprovesthattheparityofpositronsandnegativeelectronsisopposite,indicatingthatthereisnocontradictionwithcurrentquantummechanics.In1975,WuJianxiongandotherspublishedanarticletitled"AngularCorrelationandLatentVariablesofAnnihilationPhotonbyPutonScattering",reportingthattheymeasuredtheComptonScatteringinawiderangeofscatteringangles.Theresultoftheangulardistributionofphotonsisconsistentwiththestandardquantummechanicscalculationsbasedontheassumptionthatelectronsandpositronshaveoppositecosmicpresumptions.In1964,JSBell(Bell)restrictedtherangeofangulardistributionthatcanbepredictedbyanylocallatentvariabletheory,andtheangulardistributionobservedbyWuJianxiongetal.assumesthattheusualquantummechanicsComptonscatteringformulaisUnderthecorrectpremise,itdoesnotmeetBell'srestriction,sothelocallatentvariabletheoryisagaindenied,whichsupportstheorthodoxlawofquantummechanicstoahigherdegree.
