Anna Vnuchenko participated in the 12th International Workshop on Breakdown Science and High-Gradient Technology, HG2019, to be hosted by CERN and held at Le Refuge des Aiglons in Chamonix, France from 10 to 14 June 2019. She presented the last high gradient test results that have been achieved from high power test of medical linac structure designed for protonotherapy and preliminary study of breakdown (BD) phenomena in Linac4 RFQ. This study is very important since BD is the main limiting parameters of high gradient performance of acceleration structures.
The workshop gathered the steadily widening range of communities who are developing and using high-gradient in accelerators as well as researchers studying the fundamental limits of high-fields and commercial partners, to share latest mysteries and results to promote the mutual development of this field. Fundamental theory, experiments, prototype testing, simulation, novel structures and fabrication through operational accelerators have been covered at HG workshops with presentations, a poster session and plenty of time for informal discussions.
Participation in such workshop is very important as it gives opportunity to share experience and discuss general issues of achieving a high gradient in different acceleration structures for future linear colliders and other advanced accelerating applications.
