REMARKS ABOUT GAS BUBBLE CHAMBER CHARACTERISTICS
The effect of ionizing radiation on strongly supersaturated gas--liquid solutions has been observed by the Genoa research group during the Spring of 1958. The group established, in a first approximation, the conditions which the gas-- liquid systems must satisfy in order to turn this effect into formation of bubble tracks along the ionizing path. Some of the results recently obtained by various groups working at the same type of research, with the emphasis on results obtained in Genoa during last year are given. Included are general characteristics of the gas bubble chambers for various gas--liquid mixtures, such as pressures and work temperatures, sensitivity and sensitivity time, and cycling time and efficiency. In addition, the behavior of many component systems under the action of ionizing particles as a function of the parameters characterizing their thermodynamic state, with emphasis on the nucleation processes and dynamics of bubble growth are examined. Finally, the characteristics of the gas bubble chamber of a speeial type such as component mixtures with a high content of hydrogen, and mixtures of components with high atomic number, are considered.
