Liquid Hydrogen Bubble Chamber
 

• 7 feet (2 meters) long, employed dozens of
• physicists and graduate students together with
• hundreds of engineers and technicians,
• took millions of photographs of particle interactions
• developed computer systems to measure
• and analyze the interactions,
• and discovered families of new particles
• and resonance states
