Glaser, "Bubble Chamber Tracks of Penetrating Cosmic-Ray Particles" in Physical Review 91 No. 3, August 1, 1953, pp. 762-763. This paper is offered in the full August issue for 1953, pp 505-773. The issue is extracted from a larger bound volume. The spine is a little rough and the first page is detached. GOOD (4/10) copy of an historic paper. "Donald Glaser invented the bubble chamber in 1952, a groundbreaking device that made it possible to visualize and photograph the tracks of high-energy charged particles as they passed through a superheated liquid. These tracks appear as strings of tiny bubbles formed along the particles' paths, providing, in many cases, detailed, high-resolution visual evidence of subatomic interactions." "Our ability to study the smallest components of our world took a giant leap forward when C.T.R. Wilson invented the cloud chamber, where the trails of charged particles can be observed. Donald Glaser's invention of the bubble chamber in 1952 made it possible to study particles with higher energies. When charged particles rush forward through the chamber filled with a liquid at near-boiling point, they ionize atoms they pass by. When the pressure inside the chamber is then reduced, bubbles form around these charged atoms. The particles' tracks can then be photographed and analyzed." From: NobelPrize organization website entry on Glaser. "American physicist and neurobiologist Donald Arthur Glaser undertook a search for a better mechanism for tracking small charged particles, and settled on the idea of a superheated liquid. He found the published version of a 1924 study of superheated liquids and realized that the random beginning of boiling in the superheated ether described in the study was probably initiated by cosmic rays. Any disturbance in a superheated liquid causes local vaporization to occur, causing a bubble to form. As the particle moves through the liquid, it leaves a track of bubbles."--History of Physics, the Wenner Collection (David Wenner) This paper continues and expands his very short initial announcement of the bubble chamber in  "Some Effects of Ionizing Radiation on the Formation of Bubbles in Liquids" in Physical Review 87 No. 4, p. 665, August 15, 1952. 714.3.…
