What is Parity Conservation in Beta Decay Experiment about?

1. The experiment measured the angular distribution of electrons from the beta decay of polarized cobalt-60 nuclei to test for parity conservation. 2. Cobalt-60 nuclei were polarized using the Rose-Gorter method in a cerium magnesium nitrate crystal at low temperature inside a cryostat. 3. Upon demagnetization, a beta particle asymmetry was observed where emission was more favored in the direction opposite the nuclear spin, indicating parity is not conserved in beta decay.
