Unloaded Gradient at Different Conditioning Time For Constant Breakdown Rate
The following test after 1200hrs at 110MV/m@230ns shows BKD rate is very high up to 1.9e-5/pulse/m. Red cross—cell position Blue dot - breakdown position Then, set at 105MV/m@230ns for 140hrs ( 7 BKD Events )

RF Conditioning history in pulse heating scale Based on the experience on the NLC/GLC structure H60VG3, which has a pulse heating temperature of 43K at 65MV/m with 400ns pulse[1], it will not damage the surface on the scale of pulse heating of T18.

Summary T18 has preformed very well during test, with a quiet low breakdown rate of less than 1e-6/pulse/m at 106 MV/m with 230 ns pulses at the end of conditioning, which maybe good enough for a collider at of 100MV/m, however, it doesn’t yet have all necessary features such as higher efficiency and wake field damping.
