An axially-asymmetric cavity to support several modes at harmonically-related frequencies is predicted to sustain higher RF breakdown thresholds than a conventional pillbox cavity, when driven by two or more external RF phase-locked harmonic sources. Experimental efforts are underway at Yale Beam Physics Lab to study RF breakdown in a bimodal asymmetric cavity. Such a cavity could be a basic building-block for a future high-gradient warm accelerator structure.
