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…

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…
