Cloud Chamber – DIY manual
Particles coming from the universe are crossing the earth all the time – they are harmless but invisible to us. Cloud Chambers are detectors which make the tracks of the particles visible. Some decades ago these detectors were used at CERN in the first particle physics experiments. The following instructions will help you to build…

Bubble chamber
Dive into the fascinating world of bubble chambers and analyse tracks of high-energy particles with your students. We have developed several activities for advanced high-school students, in which they study bubble chamber photographs and try to work out for themselves what they show. You can find a student worksheet describing these activities (including solutions and…
