Gradus ad parnassum Evacuate chamber –mechanical to 10 -2 mbar –diffusion to 4x10 -5 mbar (with cooling) Potassium oven –load potassium under nitrogen pressure –heat to 180 o C – 250 o C Detect beam of particles –Do we have a collimated/directed beam? –Why aren’t we seeing a current on electrometer? no consistent behavior of electrometer
