Understanding Vacuum Arcs and Gradient Limits
J. Norem, Z. insepov, A. Hassanein
Although a general model of vacuum arcs and gradient limits would be widely useful, roughly 120 years after the first good experimental data on these arcs, this important field con…
An integrated Approach to Understanding Vacuum Arcs
J. Norem, Z Insepov, A. Hassanein
Although used in the design and costing of large projects such as linear colliders and tokamaks, the theory of vacuum arcs and gradient limits is not well understood. Almost 120 ye…
Modeling of High-Gradient Vacuum Breakdown
A. Ainabayev, B. Berdenova, J. Norem +1
Comsol finite element technique was applied to study heating and cooling of a microspot on the cathode surface. The reasons why there seems to be no common model for vacuum arcs, i…
Can surface cracks and unipolar arcs explain breakdown and gradient limits?
Jim Norem, Zeke Insepov
We argue that the physics of unipolar arcs and surface cracks can help understand rf breakdown, and vacuum arc data. We outline a model of the basic mechanisms involved in breakdow…
Modeling Arcs
Zeke Insepov, Jim Norem, Seth Veitzer +1
Although vacuum arcs were first identified over 110 years ago, they are not yet well understood. We have since developed a model of breakdown and gradient limits that tries to expl…
Sheath parameters for non-Debye plasmas: simulations and arc damage
Igor Morozov, Genri Norman, Zeke Insepov +1
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, non-ideal pla…
