The giant 72-inch bubble chamber in the University of California's Ernest O. Lawrence Radiation Laboratory

Abstract/Description:	The giant 72-inch bubble chamber in the University of California's Ernest O. Lawrence Radiation Laboratory built under the direction of Luis W. Alverez. The huge bubble chamber, which is filled with liquid hydrogen, is used in studies of high energy nuclear particles generated by the Bevatron. The whole instrument weights some 200 tons, and can 'walk' by means of hydraulic 'feet.' the work with the instrument is a part of the fundamental research program of the Laboratory sponsored by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC).
