The expensive kind.
I recall a discussion about refilling cesium in tubes from another
direction. I was suppriced that they did not understand how cesium
contaminates the tube, how spectrometer and vacuum "pump" is
contaminated etc. They where only discussing the addition of more
cesium. Even my very rudimentary knowledge outweigth them, that suprised me.
Pumping would reduce cesium spills at first magnet, which should be a
significant improvement in lifetime. As the oven temperature is lowered
to reduce stream of cesium, a lower average speed would be achieved,
thus prodicing a longer interaction time which would improve
performance. Alternatively better short-term stability could be achieved
with the improved signal-to-noise.
