This led to the so-called 'tau–theta' problem: [13] what seemed to be the same particle (now called K +) decayed in two different modes, Theta to two pions (parity +1), Tau to three pions (parity −1). [12] The solution to this puzzle turned out to be that weak interactions do not conserve parity. [7]
Shortly after the Bevatron came into use, it was recognized that parity was not conserved in the weak interactions, which led to resolution of the tau-theta puzzle, the understanding of strangeness, and the establishment of CPT symmetry as a basic feature of relativistic quantum field theories.
Widgoff's doctoral research involved observations of cosmic rays both at high altitude on Mount Blue Sky in Colorado and deep underground at Cornell University. Her early research at Brown centered on the "tau-theta puzzle", in which two different decay paths were thought to originate with different strange particles that could not be distinguished from each other experimentally.
Rosemary Fowler (née Brown, born 1926) is a British physicist who in 1948 as a 22-year-old doctoral researcher discovered the kaon (or K meson particle). While studying photographic plates that had been left exposed to cosmic rays, she identified a new configuration of tracks within the photographic emulsion that she recognised as being the decay of an unknown charged particle.

One example highlighting the problem was the puzzle of the theta and tau particles, two apparently differently charged, strange mesons. They were so similar that they would ordinarily be considered to be the same particle, [92] but different decay modes resulting in two different parity states were observed, suggesting that Θ + and τ +
A nuclear emulsion plate is a type of particle detector first used in nuclear and particle physics experiments in the early decades of the 20th century. [1] [2] [3] It is a modified form of photographic plate that can be used to record and investigate fast charged particles like alpha-particles, nucleons, leptons or mesons.
