Femtosecond laser filament-assisted AgI-type pyrotechnic nucleant-induced water condensation in cloud chamber.

AgI-type pyrotechnics are widely used in the field of weather modification, as a kind of artificial ice nuclei. However, their precipitation yield remains an intensively studied area. In this paper, we present a study of AgI-type pyrotechnic nucleant-induced water condensation promoted by femtosecond laser filaments in a cloud chamber.
