"In the Fermilab particle accelerator (1967), a proton beam is accelerated to the velocity of .7c using an RF cavity and magnets that guide the 20,000 passes of the proton beam through a 6 km circumference beam pipe then the accelerated protons collide with a beryllium target outside the bubble chamber forming the subatomic particles. The subatomic particles propagate through the .25 inch thick steel enclosure of the bubble chamber without losing kinetic energy then the subatomic particles lose all its kinetic energy while propagating within the liquid hydrogen in the formation of the spiral shape liquid hydrogen bubble tracks which represents the subatomic particles that are being formed within the bubble chamber when the spirals begin yet according to the Fermilab documentation the subatomic particles are formed outside the bubble chamber during the collision with the beryllium target."
I read these thing on the internet. Is this twrooo.
Happy6666 -------- head cheerleader (not exactly second head cheerleader) I should be first but she not cuter than me by a mile and I can blow bigger bubbles. I love Tyler he's my boyfriend and they say he is swift on the field and very sweet to me me.
Bubble Hum!!
Honey buns

The steel would stop some of the particles, but some would make it through. Likewise, you would expect some percentage of particles to pass all the way through the hydrogen without being absorbed.
The creation of particles from the collision with the beryllium target would be a different event from the formation of particles inside the chamber. I presume that the collision would create a myriad of short-lived particles, some of which decay outside the bubble chamber and others of which decay within it. You could end up with the creation of new tracks when unstable particles decay inside of the chamber. You would also expect tracks to form from charged particles that pass into the chamber from the outside with any need for the creation of new particles within the chamber itself.

A cheerleader with falsies? Surely not.
