Brian,
Could you give a brief overview of the rapid
inrush of air into a vacuum that gives the
temperature of 100K. ( I assume this is 100
degrees kelvin rather than 100,000 degrees) At
first thought I do not see why it would happen.
I have broken a beryllium window on an x-ray
Si-Li detector when venting the chamber to which
it was connected. I do not think a rise of 100K
would weaken beryllium very much.
Thanks
Roger Haar
