The 2m Bubble Chamber was a device used in conjunction with CERN's 25 GeV Proton Synchrotron (PS) machine to study high-energy physics. It was decided to build this chamber in 1958 with a large team of physicists, engineers, technicians and designers led by Charles Peyrou.[1] This project was of considerable magnitude, thus requiring a long-term plan so that all its characteristics could be carefully studied. Several models of this chamber were built and the problems encountered surpassed any of its predecessors. The construction only began three years later and in 1964 the chamber was finally commissioned.[2] This chamber was devoted to the study of interaction mechanisms of high-energy particles and the investigation of the properties of their excited states.
