Bubble Chamber Simulation
Quarknet Center: University of Mississippi
Contact: Peter Sonnek, peter@phy.olemiss.edu
Activity Description: This Java-script program simulates events in a Bubble Chamber. It will simulate one particle, the decay K- + p → Λ π + π - (Λ → p π -), and a Higgs decay in a Collider experiment (See Properties, under File). It also allows changes to the momentum and magnetic field, as well as track identification and momentum calculation.


It downloads in a zip file. To start the simulation either Double-Click on the file Bubble1.01.jar or from within that directory type java -jar Bubble1.01.jar. It needs Java 5 (JRE 1.5) or greater. The Current version is 1.01.
