Abstract In this paper I will focus on the case of the discovery of parity nonconservation in weak interactions from the period spanning 1947–1957, and the lessons this episode provides for successful theory construction in HEP. I aim to (a) summarize the history into a coherent story for philosophers of science, and (b) use the history as a case study for the epistemological evolution of the understanding of weak interactions in HEP. Iconclude with some philosophical lessons regarding theory construction in physics.

弱互动中的奇偶校验违规：实验如何塑造理论框架

摘要本文将重点研究从1947年至1957年间在弱相互作用中发现奇偶性非守恒的情况，这一节课为成功构建HEP提供了理论基础。我的目的是（a）将历史总结为科学哲学家的连贯故事，（b）将历史作为案例研究，以了解对HEP中弱相互作用的认识论演变。包含一些有关物理理论构建的哲学课程。
