A Model of an Electrical Discharge in the Flance Contacts With Omega Seals at High Currents in PEP-II

Conference ·
OSTI ID:935307
During PEP-II operation with high currents in the High Energy Ring (HER), elevated temperatures were found at many locations in the vacuum chamber where they have an RF seal for the flex flange. Most of these omega RF seals were badly damaged and had evidence of metal vaporization from sparks and electrical discharge. They suggest a physical model, which may explain this effect.
