Abstract
The effect of irreversible heat release on the ability of a high-preci sion rapid-cycling liquid-hydrogen bubble chamber to function at a bub ble density of 240 cm(-1) was studied. For this operating mode, the bu bble growth rate and bubble localization uncertainties due to thermal distortions were determined. The problem of how the trigger dead time concerned with the effective volume (of the second-level trigger) shou ld be taken into account in this operating mode was considered.
