The MOSCAB experiment (Materia OSCura A Bolle) uses the "geyser
technique", a variant of the superheated liquid technique of extreme
simplicity. Operating principles of the new dark matter detector and
technical solutions of the device are reported in detail. First results
obtained in a series of test runs taken in laboratory demonstrate that
we have successfully built and tested a geyser-concept bubble chamber
that can be used in particle physics, especially in dark matter
searches, and that we are ready to move underground for extensive data
taking.
