Reasons: The foreign instrument

provides: (1) sensitivity equal to or

greater than 2.0 × 10-4 A/torr at 800 μA

trap current and an air sample of 0.4 cc

will produce a 3He count rate of at least

1700 cps and (2) the precision of

measurement of the 3He/4He ratio will

be ±2.0% (1σ) on ten measurements of

the 0.4 cc STP air sample as defined

above.

These capabilities are pertinent to the
