再析吴健雄未获诺贝尔奖的原因

20世纪中期,吴健雄最先开展实验验证杨掁宁、李政道提出的弱作用下宇称可能不守恒的假说,并最早取得突破。然而她却未能因此而获得或分享诺贝尔物理学奖。其中一个重要原因是李政道提前透露了吴健雄实验的"初步结果",最终导致她未能独享验证假说的优先权。而吴健雄在实验过程中未能与国家标准局的科学家建立良好的合作关系,使她难以通过诺贝尔评奖委员会的调查关,这可能也是她未能获奖的另一个重要原因。

A New Study on the Reasons Why Wu Jian xiong failed to Obtain Nobel Prize

In mid 20th century,C.S.Wu was the first scientist who experimentally proved the Lee-Yang Hypotheses of parity conservation in weak interactions and made breakthrough firstly.However,she failed to obtain or share Noble Prize in Physics.By analyzing literatures,authors argue that one of the important reasons is Lee’s revealing Wu’s preliminary observation in her experiment,resulting in her failure to own exclusively the priority of proving Lee-Yang Hypotheses.The poor cooperative relationship between Wu and the scientists of the National Bureau of Standards might be the other reason that made her difficult to pass the investigation held by the Nobel Committee.
