To provide a
leak detector which is configured to detect leakage by introducing
hydrogen gas leaking form a test piece to an analysis tube and to provide sufficient measurement accuracy in a short time by facilitating stabilization of background and significantly reducing the time required for background
recovery.SOLUTION: An analysis tube 100 provided herein comprises an
ion source portion 1 for ionizing
hydrogen gas introduced thereto to generate
hydrogen ions, an
ion collector portion 2 for detecting the amount of
hydrogen ion current, and re-inflow suppression structures 71, 72, 73 for preventing hydrogen gas generated by the ions by being uncharged by the
ion collector portion 2 from reflowing into the
ion source portion 1.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5
