Proceso.


cloud chamber

"An apparatus for determining the movements of charged particles, consisting of a chamber containing a supersaturated mixture of gas and vapor, the vapor condensing around ions created by the particle in its passing, thereby revealing the path of the particle."




bubble chamber

Bubble chamber photographs provide an insightful introduction to the short-lived particles that emerge from all high energy accelerator experiments. They show actual trails of bubbles that are formed as charged particles force their way through an unstable liquid.
It is normally made by filling a large cylinder with a liquid heated to just below its boiling point. As particles enter the chamber bubbles grow in size as the chamber expands, until they are large enough to be seen or photographed.
Several cameras are mounted around it, allowing a three-dimensional image of an event to be captured. Bubble chambers with resolutions down to a few μm have been operated.
The whole chamber is subject to a constant magnetic field, which causes charged particles to travel in helical paths whose radius is determined by their charge-to-mass ratios.
