  1. Cloud Chambersthe authoritative guide by: Waylon Flinn, Matthew “Sezbo”, and Daniel Brue the (not-so)obvious authorities on everything

  2. Wilson Cloud Chamber: A Poisson Counter • Run the experiment repeatedly; count the number of trails for each trial. • The data should match a Poisson distribution

  3. Wilson Cloud Chamber: Its Life in Pictures • Radioactive particle source emitting two alpha particles • Picture shown with colors inverted

  4. Wilson Cloud Chamber: Measuring the Magnetic Field • Two alpha particle trails over a magnetic field. • Field pointing out of page. • Little or no noticeable effect on particle trajectories

  5. Diffusion Chamber: A Picture is Worth a Thousands Words, but a Movie will Make you Money

  6. Diffusion Chamber: Measuring the Magnetic Field Revisited • Thorium source emitting alpha particles over a magnet. • Slight change in particle trajectory.

  7. Conclusion • cloud chambers count particles • cloud chambers show field interaction effects • cloud chambers are cool!?!
