  We are developing a general model of breakdown and gradient limits that applies to accelerators, along with other high field applications such as power grids and laser ablation. 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.
