Compton Scattering | Low-energy beta particles | Photoelectrons | Alpha particles | Corona electrode

These low energy beta particle tracks emanated from a Carbon-14 source (included with chamber) placed at a chamber port located to the right of photograph field. Trajectories were bent by the 1000 Gauss magnetic field produced by our Rare Earth Magnet Assembly. Note the frequent scattering, as well as the increase in curvature and ionization per unit length as each particle is slowed. The maximum particle energy was 156 keV.
