Analysis of factors to be considered in designing ultrahrgh-vacuum systems (for working pressures of less than JO ” torr) where the main pumping mechanism is ton-getter or getter-film (subhmatron) pumping. The mechanism of the ton pump IS brrcfly reviewed. Drfferent types of ion pumps are described and their advantages and disadvantages relative to system requrrcments are drscusscd. The three main types of fore pumping-mechanrcal, aorptron, and combined mechanical-sorption-are considered. The basic theory 01 cryopumping is reviewed. Vacuum gauges and residual gas analyst\ are briefly discussed. D F Munro. Imt Meclr Etw Con/ ~bcrtrrt~t Trchtwlog~~, Londotr , March I965,‘lZpages.

For example, it rs possible to design two separate cryo-panels whose temperature is 2.5”K and 20 ‘K when coohng urth lrqutd helium. This makes it possrble to pump hydrogen and other gases at hrgh specrtic pumping speeds wrthout rmparing the overall cost. In order to avoid unduly high warmrng-up of the cryo-panels by transtent peak loads, a second hclrum circuit is put Into operatron serving as a buffer. I G‘ct~~~run~~) H .J Forth, Le b’ide, 119.
