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.[2] The construction only began three years later and in 1964 the chamber was finally commissioned.[3] This chamber was devoted to the study of interaction mechanisms of high-energy particles and the investigation of the properties of their excited states.
