Abstract
A theory for stable bubble oscillations in high pressure sound fields is presented. It is based on the strong influence of the surface tensi on on the dynamics of small bubbles and takes into account rectified d iffusion and the resonancelike response of small bubbles to very stron g acoustic pressure amplitudes. This theory provides an explanation fo r the existence of small, stably oscillating bubbles that have been ob served in experiments on sonoluminescence.
