Experiments showed that a detectable sonic signal is produced by energetic proton beams traversing fluids. The novel results are in agreement with predictions of a thermal expansion model of the generation of the acoustic wave. They are inconsistent with any significant contributions from several other possible sonic generation mechanisms, e.g., microbubble implosion and molecular dissociation. Frequency and amplitude distributions, radiation patterns, and thermal, pressure, and acoustic medium dependences were explored. 5 figures. (RWR)
