Lee and Yang proposed Wu’s experiment to check whether parity is conserved during beta decay. According to Wikipedia, the experiment works because spin is reversed under a parity transformation.
However, it seems like spin shouldn’t be reversed under parity, because →L=→r×→p=−(→r)×(−→p).
Why does Wikipedia, and some textbooks such as Griffiths, claim the spin is reversed under parity?
