THE HYDROGEN BUBBLE CHAMBER
Seizing upon a new development to visualize particle tracks
created by Donald Glaser and known as a bubble chamber
Alvarez realized the device was just what was needed
if only it could be made to function with liquid hydrogen.
Hydrogen nuclei, which are protons, made the simplest and
most desirable target for interactions with the particles produced by the Bevatron.
He began a development program to build a series of small chambers, and championed the device...
