A subatomic particle called a kaon decays into other particles that leave distinct spirals in this bubble chamber image from the 1970s. CERN In the same decade, particle accelerators came to the fore.

Have students read about how particle tracks are created on their "Tracking Particle Paths" student handouts and answer the questions on the "Bubble Chamber Basics" student handout.

Particles that elude collision leave straight, parallel tracks. This classic 1960 photograph shows tracks in the first liquid-hydrogen bubble chamber at CERN, the European laboratory for particle ...

The bubble chamber was invented in ... Particle physicists were then facing the challenge of understanding the 'strange particles' that had been spotted in cloud-chamber tracks of cosmic rays ...

In the early days of high-energy physics, bubble chambers were a staple; but in the past two decades, scintillating wire and gas chambers proved more versatile and effective in particle detection, ...
