  The RF magnetic field enhancement between two closely spaced protrusions on a metallic surface has been studied theoretically. It is found that a large enhancement occurs when the field is perpendicular to the gap between the protrusions. This mechanism could help explain the melting that has been observed on cavity surfaces subjected to pulsed heating that would nominally be well below the melting temperature of the surface material. To test this possibility, an experiment was carried out in which a pair of copper “pins” was attached to the base plate of an X-band cavity normally used to study pulsed heating. Melting was observed between the pins when the predicted peak temperature was near or exceeded the copper melting temperature.

  An L-band (1.3 GHz) TE01 mode pillbox cavity has been designed to study rf breakdown in gas. Since there are no surface electric fields, effects from the electron interaction with the surface should not be present as in the DC breakdown case. A CCD camera was used to measure the integrated light pattern through holes in the cavity, and an ultrafast diode was used to observed the evolution of the plasma during breakdown. Some preliminary results of the tests are presented in this paper.
