By the appropriate selection of the electron energy used in a quadruple mass spectrometer, the sensitivity for detection of sulfur tetrafluoride (SF/sub 4/) in sulfur hexafluoride was improved by 4 orders of magnitude. From a cleaned and preconditioned source, ca 1/3 of the available energy was utilized in SF/sub 4/ formation with a rate of production of 3 x 10/sup 13/ molecules/spark. 2 figures, 1 table.
