Design of an RF Device to Study the Multipactor Phenomenon
Résumé
Multipacting is a parasitic electron avalanche process that may occur in RF devices such as cavities or couplers. As it can be detrimental to the operation of these devices, the accelerator group at LPSC is currently designing a coaxial resonant cavity in order to study this phenomenon. In order to determine the measurable parameters on the cavity, calculations were performed and validated with numerical simulations. In a second time multipacting simulations were conducted to determine if the experiment will allow to observe multipacting.
