Experimental measurements of rf breakdowns and deflecting gradients in mm-wave metallic accelerating structures

We present an experimental study of a high gradient metallic accelerating structure at sub-THz frequencies, where we investigated the physics of rf breakdowns. Wakefields in the structure were excited by an ultrarelativistic electron beam. We present the first quantitative measurements of gradients...
