  The GSI is operating a heavy ion synchrotron, which is currently undergoing an upgrade towards higher beam intensities. It was discovered that beam losses induce a significant pressure increase in the vacuum system. In order to detect the time constants of the pressure increase and decrease, fast total pressure measurements were put into operation. With the recently installed partial pressure diagnostics it is also possible to follow up which types of molecules are released. The presentation will focus on the different techniques applied as well as on some measurement results. The potential and difficulties of this diagnostic tool will also be discussed.
