Abstract

We report results of new nucleation experiments involving 1-pentanol with hydrogen as the background gas utilizing the high-pressure diffusion cloud chamber (HPCC). We discuss the important issue of buoyancy-driven convective motion and cloud chamber operation, and we focus on the lower total pressure limit required for stable chamber operation. We provide, for the first time, an empirical procedure for determining the lower total pressure limit.
