Our recent efforts have considered failure modes of integrated circuits, sheath properties of dense, non-Debye plasmas and applications of capillary wave theory to rf breakdown in linacs. In contrast to much of the rf breakdown effort that considers one physical mechanism or on e experimental geometry, we are finding that there is an enormous volume of relevant material in the literature that helps to constrain our model and suggest experimental tests.
