Luis Alvarez and his collaborators at Berkeley have built a proportional counter filled with liquid xenon. When we recently discussed the new counter (while flying over the Bay Area in Alvarez’s twin‐engine Cessna), he told us that the new counter will be useful for cosmic‐ray satellite experiments, for ground‐based high‐energy particle detection and as a medical gamma‐ray camera.
