[edit] IT WAS UPWARD-MOVING, NOT DOWNWARD
The photograph of the first identified positron is upside down in the article! See for example Anderson's Nobel Lecture and "Landmarks: The First Positron". Could someone please turn the image to the correct orientation. --Teh Lee 25 Arpl 2006 22:45 (BST)
Doesn't the interaction of high energy particles with the vapor atoms cause the particles to behave/move different than they would without interaction, therefore making it hard or impossible to say how the particles would actually move under "normal conditions"? --Abdull 6 July 2005 10:30 (UTC)
[edit] Champagne
I read once that under certain conditions, the cloud of carbon dioxide that forms in the top of a champagne bottle when it is opened behaves as a particle detector, and that this phenomenon is the basis of the invention of the cloud chamber particle detector. Unfortunately I cannot find a corroboration of this bit of information, which I read some years ago. --McDogm 14:11, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
I think the link: http://www.lns.cornell.edu/~adf4/cloud.html How to Build a Cloud Chamber is no longer active
