Measurements of the thresholds of radiation-induced acoustic cavitation in pentane and acetone are described. A resonator method was employed. It is concluded that the observed cavitation was nucleated by recoil carbon ions in pentane. The results are compared with calculations based on Seitz's model of the nucleation process. The agreement is within an order of magnitude.
