I connect my vacuum system to the mass spectrometer, and spray my systems walls with helium. If the mass spectrometer reads helium when I spray a particular wall of my system, I can pinpoint where the leak is. Suppose an ionized helium atom has a mass of 6.6 x 10^-27 kg and a speed of 4.4 x 10 ^5 m/s as it moves into the mass spectrometer.
