Research on the development mechanism: from two-sided multipactor to one-sided multipactor

Multipactor discharge always causes disastrous damage to a vacuum window in high power microwave system, which actually becomes a limiting factor for the output power of vacuum device. To explore the multipactor phenomenon of complicated pill-box window, the mulitpactor in normal field between the metal boundary and the window disk is studied. Through Monte Carlo (MC) simulations, the susceptive curve is fitted and analyzed. The secondary electrons' avalanche behavior under the normal RF field is discussed. It is noticed that the one-sided multipactor is excited within a very limited V_rf-fD region when two-sided multipactor is excited initially. The development condition from two-sided multipactor to the one-sided multipactor is proposed. Through analyzing and MC simulation, the condition is achieved. When the normal RF electric field can satisfy the phase focus conditions of one-sided multipactor, the two-sided multipactor will develop into one-sided multpactor and then reach a saturation value. Meanwhile, the initial effect of electrostatic field on one-sided multipactor is also discussed. On condition that two-sided multipactor can be excited, the number of secondary electrons can increase up to a saturation value when E_dc0 is lower than the minimal saturate value of E_dc. When E_dc0 is lager than the minimal saturate value of E_dc and in the E_dc/E_rf threshold of one-sided resonant multipactor, the number of secondary electrons can also increase to a saturate value. However, When E_dc0 is lager than the minimal saturate value of E_dc but beyond the E_dc/E_rf threshold of one-sided resonant multipactor, secondary electrons will be suppressed.
