The application of a high electrical field on metallic surfaces leads to the well described phenomena of breakdown. In the classical scenario, explosive electron emission (EEE), breakdown (BD) originates from an emitting site (surface protrusion). The conditioning process consists of burning the emitting sites one after another and numerous observations exhibit surfaces covered with molten craters that more or less overlap. When dealing with RF cavities for accelerators, where increasingly fields are now sought, one can legitimately wonder if other physical phenomena should also be taken into account. In particular, we believe that electromigration, especially at surfaces or grain boundaries cannot be neglected anymore at high field (i.e. 50-100 MV/m). Many publications in the domain of liquid metal emission sources show that very stable and strong emission sources, either ions or electrons, build up on metallic surfaces submitted to electrical fields through a mechanism that is slightly different from the usual localized breakdown evoked in accelerators. This mechanism involves the combination of electromigration and collective motion of surface atoms. The recent results obtained on 30 GHz CLIC (Compact Linear Collider) accelerating structures, altogether with the data exposed hereafter have led us to propose a complementary scenario (pre-plasma apparition), based on electromigration, which could explain early melting of large areas of the surface.

TeV/m acceleration gradients using crystals as originally envisioned by R. Hofstadter, an early pioneer of HEP, have remained unrealizable. Fundamental obstacles that have hampered efforts on particle acceleration using bulk-crystals arise from colli sional energy loss and emittance degradation in addition to severe beam disruption despite the favorable effect of particle channeling along interatomic planes in bulk. We aspire for the union of nanoscience with accelerator science to not only overcome these problems using nanostructured tubes to avoid direct impact of the beam on bulk ion-lattice but also to utilize the highly tunable characteristics of nanomaterials. We pioneer a novel surface wave mechanism in nanostructured materials with a strong electrostatic component which not only attains tens of TeV/m gradients but also has focusing fields. Under our initiative, the proof-of-principle demonstration of tens of TeV/m gradients and beam nanomodulation is underway. Realizable nanostructure accelerators naturally promise new horizons in HEP as well as in a wide range of areas of research that utilize beams of high-energy particles or photons.
A simple system of two particles in a bidimensional configurational space $S$ is studied. The possibility of breaking in $S$ the time independent Schr{o}dinger equation of the system into two separated one-dimensional one-body Schr{o}dinger equations is assumed. In this paper, we focus on how the latter property is countered by imposing such boundary conditions as confinement in a limited region of $S$ and/or restrictions on the joint coordinate probability density stemming from the sign-invariance condition of the relative coordinate (an impenetrability condition). Our investigation demonstrates the reducibility of the problem under scrutiny into that of a single particle living in a limited domain of its bidimensional configurational space. These general ideas are illustrated introducing the coordinates $X_c$ and $x$ of the center of mass of two particles and of the associated relative motion, respectively. The effects of the confinement and the impenetrability are then analyzed by studying with the help of an appropriate Greens function and the time evolution of the covariance of $X_c$ and $x$. Moreover, to calculate the state of the single particle constrained within a square, a rhombus, a triangle and a rectangle the Greens function expression in terms of Jacobi $theta_3$-function is applied. All the results are illustrated by examples.
We present an analysis of electromagnetic oscillations in a spherical conducting cavity filled concentrically with either dielectric or vacuum layers. The fields are given analytically, and the resonant frequency is determined numerically. An importa nt special case of a spherical conducting cavity with a smaller dielectric sphere at its center is treated in more detail. By numerically integrating the equations of motion we demonstrate that the transverse electric oscillations in such cavity can be used to accelerate strongly relativistic electrons. The electrons trajectory is assumed to be nearly tangential to the dielectric sphere. We demonstrate that the interaction of such electrons with the oscillating magnetic field deflects their trajectory from a straight line only slightly. The Q factor of such a resonator only depends on losses in the dielectric. For existing ultra low loss dielectrics, Q can be three orders of magnitude better than obtained in existing cylindrical cavities.

Recent experiments at SLAC [1,2] and CERN [3] have revealed evidence of significant deformation in the form of pitting of the cells of the 1.8m series of structures DDS/RDDS (Damped Detuned Structure/Rounded Damped Detuned Structure). This pitting oc curs in the high group velocity (vg /c = 0.012) end of the accelerating structure and little evidence of breakdown has been found in the lower group velocity end of the structure. Additional, albeit preliminary experimental evidence, suggests that shorter and lower group velocity structures have reduced breakdown events with increasing accelerating field strengths. Two designs are presented here, firstly a 90cm structure consisting of 83 cells with an initial vg/c = 0.0506 (known as H90VG5) and secondly, an even shorter structure of length 60cm consisting of 55 cells with an initial vg /c = 0.03 (known as H60VG3). The feasibility of using these structures to accelerate a charged beam over 10km is investigated. The particular issue focussed upon is suppression of the dipole wakefields via detuning of the cell frequencies and by locally damping individual cells in order to avoid BBU (Beam Break Up). Results are presented on beam-induced dipole wakefields and on the beam dynamics encountered on tracking the progress of the beam through several thousand accelerating structures. [1] C.

In this Letter we experimentally demonstrate that the radiative heat transfer between metallic planar surfaces exceeds the blackbody limit by employing the near-field and thin-film effects. Nanosized polystyrene particles were used to create a nanome ter gap between aluminum thin-films of different thicknesses coated on 5x5 mm2 diced silicon chips while the gap spacing is fitted from the near-field measurement with bare Si chips. The experimental results are validated by theoretical calculation based on fluctuational electrodynamics. The near-field radiative heat flux between 13-nm Al thin-film samples at 215 nm gap distance is measured to be 6.4 times over the blackbody limit and 420 times compared to the far-field radiative heat transfer between metallic surfaces with a temperature difference of 65 K. In addition, the theoretical prediction suggests a near-field enhancement of 122 times relative to the blackbody limit and 8000 times over far-field one at 50-nm vacuum gap between 20-nm Al thin-film samples, under the same temperature difference of 65 K. This work will facilitate the understanding and application of near-field radiation to thermal power conversion, noncontact cooling, heat flow management, and optical storage where metallic materials are involved.
