THE DEPENDENCE OF THE BUBBLE DENSITY FOR AN IONIZING PARTICLE ON THE TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE IN A BUBBLE CHAMBER. PART I. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE AND RESLUTS
An account is given of measurements on the bubble density for 18 Mev electrons as a function of the pressure drop and temperature in a bubble chamber. The investigation was carried out with propane, Freon-12, and sulphurhexafluoride in the temperature regions (52--68) deg C, (68--82) deg C, and (10--20) deg C respectively. The bubble densities investigated are in the interval (5--30) bubbles/cm. From the results obtained it can be concluded that the operating temperatures of the liquids used lie in the same region when expressed in reduced temperatures. It is also shown that the bubble density can approximately be represented by a simple formula containing the energy required to create a bubble in the chamber. (auth)
