JR Macdonald Laboratory 1998 Summer Short Course: Introduction to Vacuum Physics and Technology: ---------------------------------------------- Problem 5.1) Problem 4.1 predicted a H2 fore line pressure of 236 mTorr or 56 mTorr depending on the fore line pump. What pressures are you expecting to read on the TC gauge? Problem 5.2) A resistance heated nude Bayard-Alpert ion gauge has an sensitivity of 10/Torr and an X-ray limit of 4*10^-10 Torr. Being controlled with a controller for electron bombardment degaussed ion gauges (S=25/Torr) it reads a pressure 5.0x10^-10 Torr in a system which is <90% Hydrogen. What is the most likely pressure? Problem 5.3) Calculate the fraction of hydrogen, water, nitrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide from the following RGA scans:
