12th International Workshop on the Mechanisms of Vacuum Arcs (MeVArc 2025)

Description
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 workshope is hosted by FREIA laboratory (Uppsala University) and will run from June, 1st to June, 5th 2025 at Wik's castle near Uppsala, Sweden.
