Leak hunting problems associated with controlled thermonuclear fusion experiments

Description

The LLL 2xIIB experiment is briefly described. The vacuum system uses mercury diffusion pumps and titanium sublimation. The base pressure of the guard vacuum is about 10-5 torr and about 2 x 10-7 torr in the high vacuum space using the diffusion pumps only. After titanium sublimation, the high vacuum pressure drops into the 10-9 torr range. A procedure for leak testing using a special sniffer probe is described
