More Information
Summary:Charged particles create an ionization track around which the liquid vaporizes, forming microscopic bubbles, with the density of bubbles proportional to the particle's energy loss. [...]Don did the calculations that supported the concept for the bubble chamber from scratch. Don's attempt to understand the neural hardware or, better, wetware of the brain is what led him into psychophysics. [...]from the early 1980s, Don began to work on experiments with a small group of young researchers, including T. Kumar, in the field of visual psychophysics.
