Explosive Parametric Instability of the Free Surface of a Liquid Metal in a Radio Frequency Electric Field

The possibility of the appearance of microirregularities on the surface of a liquid metal under the action of a radio frequency electric field is investigated as applied to the conditions of the compact linear collider accelerating structures. These microirregularities are formed as a result of the development of parametric instability caused by the resonant interaction between the oscillating fie...
