OSTI ID:4209001
The cloud chamber is 20 cm in diameter and 20 cm deep and is filled with nitrogen to a pressure of 60 atm. The expansion is controlled by allowing a rubber diaphragm to move between two perforated brass plates, the position of one of which can be varied to produce different expanslon ratios. The cycle of operations with such a chamber has consisted of one fast expansion followed by one or more cleaning expansions and finally a waiting period of at least 15 min before the next fast expansion. At this pressure the maximum sensitive time which can be obtained is 2.0 seconds. (W.D.M.)
