Cloud Chamber

Diplomski rad s temom Maglena komora podijeljen je u tri dijela. U uvodu je naglašena njezina vaţnost u fizici. Nakon toga su opisani različiti detektori zračenja i njihove karakteristike. Kao teorijski dio rada opisana je originalna maglena komora koju je izradio C. T. L. Wilson te sva otkrića u znanosti koja su uslijedila. Nakon toga je, kao praktični dio, opisan postupak dizajniranja maglene komore te je predočen krajnji proizvod. Na kraju su prezentirani rezultati eksperimenata pomoću napravljene maglene komore. Kao dodatak je opisana primjena maglene komore u nastavi fizike.Master thesis with the topic Cloud chamber is divided into three parts. The introduction highlighted its importance in physics. Further in the paper, various, radiation detectors and their characteristics, are described. As a theoretical part of the thesis, the original cloud chamber created by C.T.L. Wilson and all the discoveries in science that followed, are described. After that, as a practical part of the thesis, the process of designing a cloud chamber is described and its final product is presented. Finally, the paper presents the results of experiments which have been made with that cloud chamber. Application of cloud chamber in teaching physics is described , as an addition
