Description
Pulsed DC systems dedicated to the study of electrical breakdown phenomenon and the conditioning process are part of the CLIC (Compact Linear Collider) project. There are two pulsed DC systems operational at CERN, as well as similar systems at Helsinki and Uppsala Universities. In the systems, two plane electrodes with large surface areas are placed parallel to each other with a separation of tens of micrometers, under a high vacuum. The experimental results from the field emission current measurements, conditioning of different materials and the effect of different factors to the breakdown rate and the material state are presented.
