Pump-Down Times for the β⁺ Ray and Felix Experiments
Description:
"The e-folding time for the free-molecule pump-out time of the vacuum tank used for the β⁺ ray experiment (N¹⁹ at 20°C) is found to be of the order of 46 millisec, and that used for the Felix experiment (D₂ at 20°C) of the order of 12 millisec. In the Felix tank a particle bounces off of the walls on the average about 30 times before escaping, hence a "getter" material coated on the walls of the tube should result in a slightly more rapid pump-out time."
