Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research

A new computer code for 3D simulation of multipacting phenomenon in axisymmetric and nonaxisymmetric radio frequency (RF) structures is presented. The goal of the simulation is to determine resonant electron trajectories and electron multiplication in RF structure. Both SW and TW structures of normal and superconductivity have been studied. Simulation results are compared with theoretical calculations and experimental measurements. & 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
