A study of RF breakdown in pressurized cavities immersed in strong magnetic fields has begun as part of a program to develop RF cavities filled with dense hydrogen gas to be used for muon ionization cooling. A pressurized 805 MHz test cell is being used at Fermilab to compare the conditioning and breakdown behavior of copper, molybdenum, and beryllium electrodes as functions of hydrogen and helium gas densities and magnetic field strength. These results will be compared to the predicted or known RF breakdown behavior of these metals in vacuum with and without external magnetic fields.

Ionization cooling, a method for shrinking the size of a particle beam, is an essential technique for the use of muons in future particle accelerators. Muon colliders and neutrino factories, examples of such future accelerators, depend on the development of robust and affordable ionization cooling technologies. A 6D cooling experiment has been proposed, incorporating a novel configuration of helical and solenoidal magnets in a prototype cooling channel. This Helical Cooling Channel (HCC) experiment is being designed with simulations and prototypes to provide an affordable and striking demonstration that 6D muon beam cooling is understood well enough to enable intense neutrino factories and high-luminosity muon colliders. Because of the large amount of expected beam cooling, helium instead of hydrogen can be used for the initial experiment, avoiding the safety complications of hydrogen. Cryostats are currently being developed using internal heat exchangers for simple, effective and safe hydrogen absorber systems to use in later cooling experiments and real cooling channels. The experimental design choices and corresponding numerical simulations are reviewed.
