UHV system for quasistatic characterization of adsorbers for medium vacuum applications

- A UHV system for characterization of new getter materials for maintaining high vacuum in planetary science instruments.
- Unconventional approach of water vapor injection used as a proxy for materials outgassing, based on RGA spectra.
- Cross-calibration of different vacuum gauges andselection of a suitable vacuum sensor for the adsorption characterization
- System volume measurement using a nitrogen flow rate meter.
- Detailed description of water effects on the vacuum system performance.
