Abstract :
Gas discharge tubes with movable cylindrical probes have been used to determine the cleanup which results from the bombardment of a tantalum surface by positive helium ions. Data agree closely with earlier work using wire probes, and it has been possible to recover between 70 and 85 per cent of the trapped gas.
