  A high pumping speed is required in neutral beam injectors to minimise
re-ionisation of the neutral beams. The neutral beam injectors on MAST use
titanium sublimation pumps. These pumps do not have a constant pumping speed;
their pumping speed depends on the gettering surface history and on both the
integrated and applied gas load. In this paper we report a method of
maintaining a constant pumping speed,through different evaporation schemes,
suitable for operations of the MAST beamline for both short and relatively long
beam pulses by measurement of the pressure in the beamline. In addition the
MCNP code is then used to calculate the gas profile in the beamline by
adjusting the input pumping speed to match the measured pressure. This allows
the resulting gas profile to be used for calculation of the re-ionisation
levels and an example is given.
