New local field quantity describing the high gradient limit of accelerating structures

TL;DR: In this article, a modified Poynting vector is derived from a model of the breakdown trigger in which field emission currents from potential breakdown sites cause local pulsed heating, which gives the high gradient performance limit of accelerating structures due to vacuum rf breakdown.

Updated baseline for a staged Compact Linear Collider

Mark Boland, +506 more
TL;DR: The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is a multi-teV high-luminosity linear e+e-collider under development as discussed by the authors, which is foreseen to be built and operated in a staged approach with three center-of-mass energy stages ranging from a few hundred GeV up to 3 TeV.

The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) - 2018 Summary Report

Clic, +693 more
TL;DR: The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) as mentioned in this paper is a TeV-scale high-luminosity linear $e+e^-$ collider under development at CERN, which uses a two-beam acceleration scheme, in which 12 GHz accelerating structures are powered via a high-current drive beam.
Journal ArticleDOI

Investigation of the dc vacuum breakdown mechanism

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the role of field emission in dc and rf breakdown in a simple setup and found that the breakdown field is constant and depends only on the electrode material.
