ON THE PROBLEM OF HELMHOLTZ INSTABILITY

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4281087
(please delete the no. 4809 )<>13:004810The tracks of minimum ionizing particles were photographed in a luminescent chamber for what is believed to be the first time. A cascade luminescent chamber made up of three image tubes coupled with refractive optics were used to photograph tracks of cosmic ray mu mesons in a sodium iodide crystal. The apparatus is described, together with details of measurements on image tube characteristics and the nature of background. The same type of apparatus is applicable to other problems where very weak light signals (several thousand photons total) must be photographed. (auth)
