吴健雄未获诺贝尔奖原因新论

New Study on Why WU Jian-xiong could not have Won the Nobel Prize

吴健雄1957年未能与杨振宁、李政道共同分享当年的诺贝尔物理学奖金,主要原因有两个方面:一是她工作的原创性不够高,她实验的途径与实验设计的关键思路以及实验的关键测量项都是杨振宁、李政道在获奖论文中提出的;二是与她几乎同时、互相独立对弱作用下宇称不守恒作出实验证实的有三个实验小组,诺贝尔评委会不可能厚此薄彼,而一项诺贝尔奖按规定每次至多能授予3人。

The main reasons that WU Jian-xiong could not have won the Nobel Physics Prize with YANG Zhen-ning and LI Zheng-dao together in 1957 are:first,the origination of her work is not high.Her experimental way,key design ideas and experimental measurements of key items were provided by YANG and LI in their article won the Prize.Second,there were three experimental groups which independently confirmed the rule of Parity Nonconservation under Weak Interaction,and the Nobel Prize Committee cannot prefer one to another,but as a rule,a Nobel Prize only can be rewarded to at most three persons every time.
