What are visual particle dedectors?

[welmaren]

i have a presentation for nuclear course, but i can't find in any resources about visual dedectors. there are many types but none specific topics. can anyone give me an example to study on?

A simple example (and probably the best) is known as a cloud chamber. It was developed by a scientist named Charles Wilson. He won the Nobel Prize in Physics for it in 1927. Should be a good place to start - here's a link to the presentation speech for his award and for that of a contemporary whose theories were confirmed by the new method.
