Bubble chamber

A bubble chamber is a vessel filled with a superheated transparent liquid used to detect ionized particles moving through it. The ionized particle deposits sufficient energy in the liquid that it begins to boil along its path, forming a string of bubbles. Bubble chambers are similar to cloud chambers in application and basic principle. It was invented by Donald A. Glaser, for which he was awarded the 1960 Nobel Prize in Physics.
