Abstracts 292--298 residual gases were analysed by means of a cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer o f the omegatron type Analysm was contlnuous before, during and after both (a) ion pumping with a Bayard-Alpert pattern hot-cathode gauge and (b) the dispersal of a barmm getter Results are more extensive than any pubhshed hitherto and are presented both as mass spectra and the variation of gas constitution with time throughout each stage of the above operations The study illustrates the potentlahties of the omegatron as a tool for solwng many problems existing in vacuum technology In particular, by regarding the BayardAlpert pattern gauge as an electron tube, it Is shown that the omegatron is well suited to the analysis of residual gases during the manufacture and hfe of tubes (Authors) Frankhn A Baker and Tizmno A Gmrgl, Vacuum, 10, 58-63, 1960 22 41 292. Some Results of the Measurement of Caesium Vapour Pressure in Pbotoelectlac Tubes dmang their Manufacture and Life. Yugoslawa Residual caesmm pressure (Pcs) m phototubes with A g - O - C s and Cs3Sb cathodes have been determined by using the method described m the previous paper and compared to the calculated values Pc~ m a C%Sb cell at r o o m temperature is about 10-1. Torr, and m a A g - O - C s cell about a hundred Umes lower We observed an appreciable increasing of Pcs in CsaSb photo-cells during the operatmn " Current activatmn " of Cs3Sb photocathodes can be explained by this effect Pcs data for different photocathode activation processes of photocells and photo-mulUphers are given Senslbilizatmn of photocathodes with minute quanUtms of oxygen lowers the Pcs Relations between Pcs and photomultipher dark current are discussed (Authors) E Kansky and S Jen6, Vacuum, 10, 240--244, 1960 22

Umted Kingdom Measurements have been made on a simple omegatron mass spectrometer, to show the effect of various parameters on the sensRlvlty, resonant frequency, resolutmn and background ion current Increase of magnetic field has been shown to cause a marked improvement in peak-to-background ratio, and to improve resolution approximately as predicted by the simple theory The range has been extended to include Hg, the height of Hg peaks having been shown to be proportional to the pressure of Hg vapour present Using the results it has been possible to make a practical appraisal of the sensItwlty of the omegatron as a leak detector This leads to less optimistic sensRwlty values than have been quoted on theoretical grounds (Author) D S Stark, Vacuum, 9, 288-294, 1959 22 295. A Piezoelectric Oscillator Manometer United Kingdom This paper describes a simple manometer for the measurement of pressures of gases and vapours within the range 760 Torr to 10 -1 Torr, with a linear scale It uses the damping effect of the gas or vapour upon the sustained vibratmns of a commercmlly available piezoelectric quartz crystal The damping effect is examined theoretically and the behawour of the gauge is shown to be generally m accordance w~th calculation (Author) D J Pacey, Vacuum, 9, 261-263, 1959 22 21 33 37 47 296.
