Particles coming from the universe (cosmic rays) are crossing the earth all the time – they are harmless but invisible to us, also called natural radiation. Cloud chambers are detectors to make the tracks of the particles visible. Some decades ago – these detectors were used at CERN in the first experiments to detect particles. Wouldn’t it be nice to build such a detector at home in your kitchen? We show you how to build a small one at home in your kitchen for your own research ...
We offer cloud chamber workshops in 2 different versions, BASIC & ADVANCED. The activity is exactely the same, but the depths of Physics discussion varies. Please only sign up for ONE version of the workshop.
ADVANCED: This workshop is targeting students with a Physics background. If you like Feynman diagrams and in depths Physics discussions, sign up for this version.
