The first purpose of this report is to present the basic data for the consideration of muon exposures in liquid hydrogen bubble chambers at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. The object of the exposures would be to study muon + proton inelastic reactions. A second purpose is to show the improvement in the data rate if a very large hydrogen bubble chamber is used. First, the relevant properties of the SLAC muon beam are discussed. Then the inelastic event rate to be expected in a SLAC bubble chamber is given. Finally, the event rate is given for a very large hydrogen bubble chamber such as the Argonne National Laboratory 12-foot chamber or the 25-foot chamber proposed by Brookhaven National Laboratory.
