Title: Denis Keefe with spark chamber
Description: A team under W.A. Wenzel of the Lofgren group introduced spark chambers to the Laboratory. This technique, first used successfully in 1959, exploits the sparks that mark the passage of a charged particle between closely spaced parallel electrodes. An automatic scanner for the spark chamber was devised by Denis Keefe and Leroy Kerth. (The preceding information was excerpted from the text of the Fall 1981 issue of LBL Newsmagazine.)
