“Gargamelle,” one of two large bubble chambers to be used at CERN is being developed by the Ecole Polytechnique and the Orsay and Saclay laboratories in France. Gargamelle, who in her previous incarnation was Gargantua’s mother, will now be a cylindrical chamber 4.8 meters long and 1.9 meters in diameter containing a heavy liquid such as freon in a useful volume of 10 cubic meters. The chamber is expected to be ready for installation at CERN by the beginning of 1969.
