Multipacting Simulation – Track3P 3D parallel high-order finite-element particle tracking code for dark current and multipacting simulations (developed under SciDAC) Track3P – traces particles in resonant modes, steady state or transient fields – accommodates several emission models: thermal, field and secondary MP simulation procedure – Launch electrons on specified surfaces with different RF phase, energy and emission angle – Record impact position, energy and RF phase; generate secondary electrons based on SEY according to impact energy – Determine “resonant” trajectories by consecutive impact phase and position – Calculate MP order (#RF cycles/impact) and MP type (#impacts /MP cycle) Track3P benchmarked extensively – Rise time effects on dark current for an X-band 30-cell structure – Prediction of MP barriers in the KEK ICHIRO cavity Cold Coax and Bellows Delta as a function of RF input power and z axis location No Multipacting activities between coax pipes High impedance coax supports MP at higher power level Delta as a function of RF input power and MP order Matching Taper Ceramic Window Region Impact energy and MP order versus input power for two-point multipacting particles between ceramic window and cold inner conductor A multipacting particle trajectory between ceramic window and taper region of inner conductor on the cold side Electric Field Multipacting map in cold coax w/ and w/o reflection MP particle trajectory Reflection: 0.5 Input power level: 160KW Order: 5th order Impact energy: 542-544 eV Coax is the first component for high power processing After initial processing, the vacuum and electron pickup signal show multipacting bands in agreement with simulations Electron pickup uA mV Simulated power (kW)170~190230~270350~390510~590830~1000 Power in Coupler (kW)43~170280~340340~490530~660850~1020 klystron power (kW)50~200330~400400~580620~7801000~1200 Abstract: The TTF-III coupler adopted for the ILC baseline cavity design has shown a tendency to have long initial high power processing times. A possible cause for the long processing times is believed to be multipacting in various regions of the coupler. To understand performance limitations during high power processing, SLAC has built a flexible high-power coupler test stand. The plan is to test individual sections of the coupler, which includes the cold and warm coaxes, the cold and warm bellows, and the cold window, using the test stand to identify problematic regions. To provide insights for the high power test, detailed numerical simulations of multipacting for these sections will be performed using the 3D multipacting code Track3P.
