The bubble chamber, which was invented by Donald Glaser in 1952, made its major contributions to particle physics over three decades, from the late 1950s until the 1980s. In the 1960s bubble chambers became the main tool at CERN for the study of resonances and strange particle physics. The first experimental results were obtained in 1961 by exposing the Padua Propane Chamber to the CERN 600 MeV synchro-cyclotron. [1] CERN's last bubble chamber was shut down in 1985.[2] From then onwards, digital detectors took over and are still the main instrumentation used for particle detection.[3]
