The effects and thermoacoustic mechanism involved in the use of distilled water as an acoustic medium for the detection of high-energy charged particles have been examined using a Q-switched YAG laser with a 1.06 micron wavelength and a typical pulse energy of about 0.3 J. The behavior of water above or below 4 C is in agreement with the predictions of thermoacoustic theory. At 4 C, however, a tripolar pulse appears which must be a nonthermoacoustic signal. The latter begins with a rarefaction produced by electrostriction rather than compression. The characteristics of this signal are discussed in some detail. It is found that if the energy of deposition exceeds a certain level the thermoacoustic theory no longer holds, and it is concluded that Q-switched YAG lasers can perfectly simulate the acoustic generating mechanism of high-energy charged particles.
