Multi-harmonic accelerating cavities that are explicitly designed for RF breakdown experiments are described. The fundamental TM010 and its higher harmonic TM011 or TM012 modes of the cavities are to be excited coherently by an external RF source in the expectation of lowering surface pulsed heating and/or surface electric field, so as to reduce breakdown probability and possibly achieve an increase in acceleration gradient.
