Abstract
A new instrument, the cloud‐ion chamber, combining the functions of an ionization chamber (utilizing free electron collection) and the Wilson cloud chamber in the same gas volume has been operated successfully for a sensitive time in excess of 1000 hours. From studies of the gas mixtures with argon as the major component, it is shown that an isoamyl alcohol and argon mixture is a satisfactory chamber filling under the operating conditions used. The operating characteristics of the cloud‐ion chamber are described.
