On the critical energy required for homogeneous nucleation in bubble chambers employed in dark matter searches
Abstract Two equations for the calculation of the critical energy required for homogeneous nucleation in a superheated liquid, and the related critical radius of the nucleated vapour bubble, are obtained, the former by the direct application of the first law of thermodynamics, the latter by consider...
