I Positron discovery in cloud chamber, how so?

Hi All,

I was watching a video from Veritassium () when it was said that positron discovery was made in a cloud chamber. If the anti-particle of the electron is passing through a dense cloud of atoms and molecules, won't it be natural for this anti-particle to meet an electron and go through a fast pair anihilation, giving rise to photons?

Best wishes

IIRC, our school's cloud-chamber had an optional magnetic field via a pair of coils. Trails from the 'source' spiralled one way for electrons, other way for their anti-kin. And, if you were quick, measurement of curl's diameter allowed a useful estimate of energy etc...

Our school had a 'Treasure Trove' of Nuffield teaching equipment, akin to 1st-year Uni Physics level...

Well, I'm simulating a neutron-proton scattering phase shift. The equation that I solve numerically is the Phase function method and is $$ \frac{d}{dr}[\delta_{i+1}] = \frac{2\mu}{\hbar^2}\frac{V(r)}{k^2}\sin(kr + \delta_i)$$ ##\delta_i## is the phase shift for triplet and singlet state, ##\mu## is the reduced mass for neutron-proton, ##k=\sqrt{2\mu E_{cm}/\hbar^2}## is the wave number and ##V(r)## is the potential of interaction like Yukawa, Wood-Saxon, Square well potential, etc. I first...
