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 ...
Modeling vacuum arcs in linac structures

Norem, J.; Moretti, A.; Insepov, Z.; Nurkenov, S. (Proceedings of PAC2013, Pasadena, 2013)

We describe our vacuum arc model, which divides breakdown into four stages: trigger, plasma formation, plasma evolution and surface damage. We have modeled all four stages numerically and find that the properties of surface ...
