Abstract

The ever-growing demand for higher RF gradients has
considerably increased the risk of breakdown in
accelerating structures. Field emission is the most
common form of RF breakdown that generates free
electrons capable of inflicting irreversible damages on the
RF surface. This paper presents a systematic experimental
and simulation programme to understand possible sources
and their influence on RF cavity operation
