A transient condensation cloud, also called a Wilson cloud[1][2], is observable surrounding large explosions in humid air. When a nuclear weapon or high explosive is detonated in sufficiently …

Cloud chamber, also known as Wilson chamber or diffusion cloud chamber, is a device capable of displaying invisible tracks of ionising radiation, which makes it unique tool for intuitive and fun …

Alpha particles and electrons (deflected by a magnetic field) from a thorium rod in a cloud chamber. Cloud chambers, also known as Wilson cloud chambers, are particle detectors …

Jun 1, 2021 · Here is how to make a cloud chamber, a look at how it works, and how to use a cloud chamber to identify types of background radiation or radioactivity from radioisotopes.

The study of high energy particles was greatly aided in 1912 when C. T. R. Wilson, a Scottish physicist, devised the cloud chamber. The general procedure was to allow water to evaporate …

The cloud chamber was developed by C.T.R. Wilson at the turn of the century (he received the Nobel Prize in 1927 for his invention). When charged particles ionize a supersaturated vapor, …

Cloud chambers are used to show the tracks of radioactive particles rather than to measure the intensity of the radiation. There are two types of cloud chamber: the expansion type and the …

CLOUD is an active experiment at CERN which is investigating the link between galactic cosmic rays and cloud formation Utilises a gigantic cloud chamber in a beam of particles from the …

A transient condensation cloud, also called Wilson cloud, is observable at large explosions in humid air. When a nuclear weapon or a large amount of a conventional explosive is detonated …

Charles Wilson saw tracks of single charged particles in his cloud chamber the first time in 1910. Having studied meteorology and the formation of water droplets that make clouds, he started …
