Defect model for the dependence of breakdown rate on external electric fields

We develop an analytical model for the vacuum electric breakdown rate dependence on an external electric field, observed in test components for the compact linear collider concept. The model is based on a thermodynamic consideration of the effect of an external electric field on the formation enthal...
