Abstract
Particle trajectory in the Wilson cloud chamber is explained by means of the perturbation theory and generalized coherent states. The model consists of an incoming particle, molecules and detectors (the immediate environment of the molecules). The particle and the molecules are treated as typical quantum systems, while each detector has many harmonic oscillators whose state are totally described by generalized coherent states. If a molecule is ionized through interaction with a particle, the ionized excited state is stable, that is, the molecule does not return to the ground state. The stability of excited states of the molecule is a result of properties of the generalized coherent states of the detector interacting with the molecule.
