New local field quantity describing the high gradient limit of accelerating structures

A new local field quantity is presented which gives the high gradient performance limit of accelerating structures due to vacuum rf breakdown. The new field quantity, a modified Poynting vector S_{c}, is derived from a model of the breakdown trigger in which field emission currents from potential br...
