Description
Multi-harmonic cavities that are designed for RF breakdown experiments are described. The fundamental TM010 and its higher harmonic, either TM020, or TM011, or TM012 modes of the cavities are to be excited coherently by an external RF source in the expectation of lowering surface field emission and/or surface pulsed heating, so as to reduce breakdown probability and possibly achieve an increase in acceleration gradient.
