A system to detect or generate nuclear particles includes an enclosure which holds a fluid in a metastable state. The interaction of a nuclear particle with the fluid creates a respective vapor pocket that can be seen, and results in a shock wave that can be heard and recorded. The level of tension metastability in combination with agents, such as Be and B atoms, and surfactants that minimize evaporation losses is associated with a particular type of nuclear particle. |
