Formation of field-induced breakdown precursors on metallic electrode surfaces

Soumendu Bagchi, Evgenya Simakov, Danny Perez

Understanding the underlying factors responsible for higher-than-anticipated local field enhancements that trigger vacuum breakdown on pristine metal surfaces is crucial for the de…

Feasibility study for the hard x-ray free electron laser based on synergistic use of conventional and plasma accelerator technologies

Nikolai Yampolsky, Sandra Biedron, Bjorn Manuel Hegelich +3

We access the possibility of using the conventional RF accelerator as an injector for the plasma driven wakefield accelerator. Conventional accelerators deliver high quality beams…

C: A "Cool" Route to the Higgs Boson and Beyond

Mei Bai, Tim Barklow, Rainer Bartoldus +23

We present a proposal for a cold copper distributed coupling accelerator that can provide a rapid route to precision Higgs physics with a compact 8 km footprint. This proposal is b…

Heating of Cs2Te Photocathode via Field Emission and RF Pulsed Heating: Implication Toward Breakdown

Ryo Shinohara, Soumendu Bagchi, Evgenya Simakov +2

The occurrence of radio-frequency (rf) breakdown limits operational electromagnetic gradients in accelerator structures. Experimental evidence often suggests that breakdown events…

C Demonstration Research and Development Plan

Emilio A. Nanni, Martin Breidenbach, Caterina Vernieri +46

C is an opportunity to realize an ee collider for the study of the Higgs boson at GeV, with a well defined upgrade path to 550 GeV while staying on the…
