This paper reviews the history of multipactor discharge theory, focusing on recent models of
multipactor accessibility and saturation. Two cases are treated in detail: That of a first-order …

Recent progress made in the prediction, characterisation, and mitigation of multipactor
discharge is reviewed for single‐and two‐surface geometries. First, an overview of basic …

Dielectric window breakdown is a serious challenge in high-power microwave (HPM)
transmission and radiation. Breakdown at the vacuum/dielectric interface is triggered by …

With the use of a simple model, it is shown that a thin film of contaminant on a microwave
window may absorb up to 50% of the incident power, even if the film thickness is only a …

The time-dependent physics of the single-surface multipactor is investigated by using both
particle-in-cell (PIC) and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. An oscillation of the normal surface …

We report a new regime of single-surface multipactor that was observed during high-power
testing of an 11.424-GHz alumina-based dielectric-loaded accelerating structure. Previous …

This paper analyzes, separately, the effects of an external magnetic field, the rf magnetic
field, and of an oblique rf electric field, on multipactor discharge on a dielectric. Using Monte …

Triple point, defined as the junction of metal, dielectric, and vacuum, is the location where
electron emission is favored in the presence of a sufficiently strong electric field. In addition …

Multipactor is a much studied resonant AC discharge that is harmful to microwave
components and circuits. There is substantial current interest in this topic because of its …
