Sentence examples for Wilson cloud chamber from inspiring English sources
The recoiling electron was observed and measured by Compton and Alfred W. Simon in a Wilson cloud chamber.
In a Wilson cloud chamber, supersaturation is caused by the cooling induced by a sudden expansion of the saturated vapour by the motion of a piston or an elastic membrane, a process that must be repeated with each use.
