Abstract—

The design of the portable Wilson cloud chamber and devices included in it are described. The main performance characteristics of these devices are presented. Multiple tests of the setup have been carried out, and the main parameters of its functioning, as well as the required parameters of the cooling system, have been determined. This Wilson cloud chamber is used as the scientific, laboratory, and demonstration equipment.
