Overview
Vacuum arcs are a concern in nearly every vacuum device under electric field; consequently they are present in a very wide range of applications. Sometimes vacuum arcs form the basis for device operation, but all too often they are the primary failure mode.
Understanding the physical processes of a vacuum arc requires expertise from many disciplines – material science, surface physics, and plasma physics. Applications include high-voltage electronics, RF accelerators, electrostatic accelerators and vacuum interrupters. The purpose of this workshop series is to bring together scientists and engineers from many different disciplines and application areas to discuss the latest efforts in understanding vacuum arcs. We cover theory, simulation and experiments.
This workshop is hosted by Sandia National Laboratories and will run from March 3 to March 7 2024 at the Granlibakken Resort on the shores of Lake Tahoe in Tahoe City, CA in the United States. The workshop will be in person only and the attendees must stay at the workshop hotel/venue, there will not be remote participation. The Workshop cost (including taxes and fees) is:
| Registration Cost ($) | Room Cost ($) | Total Cost ($) | |
| Single Room | 800 | 194.86/night | 1774.32 |
| Shared Room | 800 | 114.24/night | 1371.22 |
