Abstract
Experiments on the prompt neutron-induced cavitation effect in tetrachloroethylene are described. Cavitation bubbles were detected by the fast acoustic signals they emit, probably during the collapse phase. Using a pulsed fast-neutron source phase locked to the acoustic field, and a time analyser, information was obtained on the history of bubbles which were nucleated at a known phase of the sound pressure field. Some other properties of the neutron-induced cavitation effect were also investigated using both the pulsed source and a Po/Be source.Keywords
