<p>Attached plot shows rate of pressure increase in ~2l volume upstream of TUDA with Ni window #2 installed on reentrant flange. Comparison between</p>
<p>a)pumping out TUDA and 2l volume, and</p>
<p>b) filling TUDA with ~340mbar of He and pumping out 2l volume.</p>
<p>In both cases, 2l volume isolated from pumps at start.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Gradients are comparible, hence no detectable He leak through window.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Will repeat with other windows and blank flange tomorrow.</p> |
