Overview.

The HAL 101X is a residual gas analyzer for synchrotron, accelerator and tokamak or torus applications in harsh radiation environments. It avoids all radiation shielding requirements by completely eliminating active electronic components in the vicinity of the RGA vacuum gauge element.

Control electronics can be located up to 80 meters from the RGA gauge with no reduction in quadrupole mass filter frequency, and with the full 100 amu mass range and performance relative to the standard close-coupled system.

A Threshold Ionization Mass Spectrometry (TIMS) mode is included for real-time quantification of hydrogen and helium isotopes.
