A History of Quantum Mechanics
A Brief History of Quantum Mechanics

The Timeline of theoretical physics lists key events by century. 1896 - Charles Wilson discovers that energetic particles produce droplet tracks in supersaturated gases
1897-1901 - Discovery of the Townsend discharge by John Sealy Townsend
1908 - Hans Geiger and Ernest Rutherford use the Townsend discharge principle to detect alpha particles.
1911 - Charles Wilson finishes a sophisticated cloud chamber
1928 - Hans Geiger and Walther Muller invent the Geiger Muller tube, which is based upon the gas ionisation principle used by Geiger in 1908, but is a practical device that can also detect beta and gamma radiation. This is implicitly also the invention of the Geiger Muller counter.
1934 - Ernest Lawrence and Stan Livingston invent the cyclotron
1945 - Edwin McMillan devises a synchrotron
1952 - Donald Glaser develops the bubble chamber
1968 - Georges Charpak and Roger Bouclier build the first multiwire proportional mode particle detection chamber
