The muons actually have to be travelling at relativistic speeds to reach the cloud chamber because without time dilation, they don't last long enough. Alpha particles are high-mass and make straight, ...

[Markus] demonstrates his cloud chamber by illuminating the cloud with a laser pointer and introducing a few alpha particles with a sample of Americium 241. It looks very cool, and seems to be ...

The subject of this build is the visualization of ionizing radiation tracks, with one of our old favorite physics demonstrators, the venerable cloud chamber. The build video (embedded below ...

“It’s recognised by the [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] that human activities have changed aerosol particles in ... trace gases to a clean cloud chamber at atmospheric pressures ...

Later painstaking research done by Patrick Blackett, at Rutherford’s suggestion in Cambridge in the 1920’s, captured rare cloud chamber images that revealed the full detail of what was happening. The ...
