There is an ongoing interest in linear accelerators operating at 100s of GHz and THz frequencies due to their small size and potentially high efficiency. Vacuum RF breakdown is one of the fundamental factors limiting performance of these linacs. Accordingly, study of RF breakdown physics in mm-wave high gradient accelerating structures is needed, which includes understanding of dependencies of the breakdown rate on electromagnetic, geometric, and material properties. In our previous work, we have tested beam-driven 100 GHz and 200 GHz metallic accelerating structures. In this work we report results of high power tests of a 110 GHz single-cell standing wave accelerating cavity powered by a 1 MW gyrotron. The RF power is coupled into the accelerating structure using a "Gaussian to TM01" mode converter. In order to characterize high gradient behavior of the cavity, including the RF breakdown probability, we have measured RF signals and field-emitted currents. The cavity is driven by 10 ns, 100s of kilowatt pulses. These short pulses were cut from microsecond-long gyrotron pulses using a fast optical switch, with accelerating gradients up to 150 MV/m.
