Description

In the experiment P6.5.1.1, the tracks of α particles are observed in a Wilson cloud chamber. Each time the pump is vigorously pressed, these tracks are visible as traces of droplets in oblique light for one to two seconds. An electric field in the chamber clears the space of residual ions.
