SOME OF THE EXPANSION MECHANISMS CONSIDERED FOR LIQUID HYDROGEN BUBBLE CHAMBERS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4245720
Experience with bubble channbers is confined to small chambers. Several laboratories are designing, constructing, and testing large chambers with a volume of several hundred liters. One of the basic problems of bubble chambers is that of exparsion mechanisms. An investigation of the problems connected with cold gas expansion and purely liquid expansion through fluid circulation was made. In both cases estimates are based on a 2 x 0.6 x 0.50 m chamber with a volume of the order of 540 liters. The question of the speeds of expansion and recompression is briefly discussed. (A.C.)
