dc breakdown conditioning and breakdown rate of metals and metallic alloys under ultrahigh vacuum

The rf accelerating structures of the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) require a material capable of sustaining high electric field with a low breakdown rate and low induced damage. Because of the similarity of many aspects of dc and rf breakdown, a dc breakdown study is underway at CERN in order to t...
