OT: Any groups for cloud chamber users or physics geeks with that interest?

[Dekatron42]

I recently bought a Phywe Cloud Chamber 09043.01 with built in Peltier cooling for a tenth of what it would cost new (see the included document).

I've googled a lot and found a lot of good information on cloud chambers in general but nothing in the way of interest groups like Neonixie-L for cloud chambers so i thought I would ask here if anyone knows of any?

The cloud chamber is missing the flat magnet that is supposed to be included but otherwise it is complete and it almost looks unused and the Peltier element and heating element works just fine. Now I'll have to build a small power supply to power it all, I am thinking of using Threeneuron's Nixie PSU with the charge pumper kit that I bought some time ago for other experiments as the high voltage. I'll probably add a PC water cooling kit to it t o run it continuously instead of hooking it up to a water faucet for cooling of the Peltier element.

Any other ideas and/or information is greatly appreciated!

I want one! United Nuclear promised one for a couple of years and then gave up.
