I saw something in a physics journal 10 (or was it 20 ) years ago
describing a simple cloud chamber for demonstrating the range of
alpha particles in air. I think it used methanol and dry ice,
producing a supersaturated methanol atmosphere. I intend to use the
amerecium source from a smoke detector, to make the source feel
familiar to my students.
Does anyone have a good, simple design?
