The difficulty with hydrogen is to keep it where you want it. It does not
take very much for it to leak out (or in, as the case may be)

Wouldn't the low density of helium reduce some mechanical friction?
I realize the motions are small but they are motions. 

The "Cousteau effect"?  :)

Hi

You really want to use Helium. Hydrogen is a bit reactive.

Hi Bob, it also depends on what you allow to leak into the vacuum. Hydrogen 
is a pretty effective remover of heat :-))

Hi

If you look at the thermal conductivity vs very low pressures, the 
conductivity

comes up pretty quickly from a hard vacuum. There is essentially no impact
on Q.

This raises the question, why there is backfill (just for thermal 
conductivity?)

and how much it affects the Q of the crystal.
