The required low breakdown rate for CLIC, of the order of 10(-7) breakdown pulse(-1) m(-1), has been demonstrated in a number of 12 GHz CLIC prototype structures at gradients in excess of the design 100 MV/m accelerating gradient, however without the presence of the accelerated beam and associated beam loading. The beam loading induced by the approximately 1 A CLIC main beam significantly modifies the field distribution inside the structures, and the effect on breakdown rate is potentially significant so needs to be determined. A dedicated experiment has been carried out in the CLIC Test Facility CTF3 to measure this effect, and the results are presented.", optnote="WOS:000447731900003", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=3768), last updated on Wed, 31 Oct 2018 11:04:57 +0000", issn="2469-9888", doi="10.1103/PhysRevAccelBeams.21.102001", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevAccelBeams.21.102001", language="English" }
