Break-down of “Breakdown”
1. Vacuum breakdown:
•
•
•
Field emission (protrusion)  electrons+RF+B
Metal vapor  Metal plasma  Arc
Secondary emissions (by electrons, ions, photons)
2. Low pressure breakdown (~ glow):
•
•
•
Seed electrons (UV, cosmic ray, artificial source)
Electron multiplication by gas ionization
Secondary emission (by ion bombardment on cold cathode)
3. High pressure breakdown (~ spark):
•
•
•
Electron multiplication by gas ionization
Photo-ionization
Streamer propagation (faster, independent of cathode)
4. Beam-induced electron loading
•
•
•
Beam-impact and fast-electron-impact ionization of gas
Ohmic dissipation by electron-gas collisions
Significant reduction in quality factor, Q

?
High-pressure hydrogen gas (H2) inside the cavity:
1. To provide an energy absorber (dE/dx)
2. To enable higher accelerating RF field gradient in the presence
of the B fields (Paschen’s law, and electron’s nm >> W, w)
3. To achieve ionization energy loss and RF energy regain
simultaneously (Key element for HCC)
Effects of beam-induced electrons are of great concern
[A. Tollestrup].

Most electrons (>90%) are quickly thermalized inside the
cavity by elastic and inelastic collisions, and drift with RF
until annihilated by recombination, attachment, or diffusion.

We assume Te = const. in this example.
However, Te = Te (Vc) in general.
Too much of SF6 (Z = 70, A = 146) will
change electron dynamics.

Summary and Discussion
1. Beam test of the high pressure RF cavity is a high-priority
R&D program in MTA.
2. We hope SF6 can remove electrons with minimal side
effects.
3. What is the criteria to evaluate the feasibility of HPRF ?
4. What are the necessary equipments ?
5. Any synergy between vacuum RF and HPRF ?
