Description
A model has been developed at CERN to simulate the procession of conditioning in high-field systems [1]. Any arbitrary geometry may be meshed and simulated in spatially resolved fashion, and the effects associated with a variation in the surface electric field, and different algorithmic approaches to conditioning, have been investigated. To test and validate these hypotheses, the model was employed to design two chamfered electrodes, which were later tested in CERN's Large Electrode System (LES). This talk will discuss the predictions made, and the design of the electrodes used to test them.
