We report H{sub 2}, CO, and CO{sub 2} pumping speed measurements on a linear pump using NEG strip St 707 (Saes Getters Inc.) as a function of both adsorbed gases and number of activations. To simulate the conditions of an operating storage ring a gas mixture of 50% H{sub 2}, 35% CO, and 15% CO{sub 2} is used in all measurements. Initial measured pumping speeds of {gt}450 l m{sup {minus}1} s{sup {minus}1} decrease to 200 and 100 l m{sup {minus}1} s{sup {minus}1} for H{sub 2} and CO, respectively, after 70 air exposures. A further drop to 50 l m{sup {minus}1} s{sup {minus}1} for CO occurs at CO loading of 1{times}10{sup {minus}2} Torr l m{sup {minus}1}. CO{sub 2} and CO pumping speeds are about the same. The photon stimulated desorption for both baked and activated strips is an order of magnitude lower than that for stainless steel.
