A General Model of Vacuum Arcs in Linacs

Norem, J.; Insepov, Z. (Proceedings of NAPAC2016, Chicago, IL, USA, 2017-01)

We are developing a general model of breakdown and gradient limits that applies to accelerators, along with other high field applications such as power grids and laser ablation. We have considered connections with failure ...
Ion Solid Interaction And Surface Modification At RF Breakdown In High‐Gradient Linacs

Insepov, Z.; Norem, J.; Veitzer, S. (American Institute of Physics, 2011-06)

Ion solid interactions have been shown to be an important new mechanism of unipolar arc formation in high-gradient rf linear accelerators through surface self-sputtering by plasma ions, in addition to an intense surface ...
Sheath parameters for non-Debye plasmas: Simulations and arc damage

Morozov, I. V.; Norman, G. E.; Insepov, Z.; Norem, J. (Physical Review Special Topics-Accelerators and Beams, 2012)

This paper describes the surface environment of the dense plasma arcs that damage rf accelerators, tokamaks, and other high gradient structures. We simulate the dense, nonideal plasma sheath near a metallic surface using ...
