Abstract

Multipactor is a major factor in many RF power couplers, causing long processing times that can be difficult for large machines. The SPL coupler is proposed to have a conical matching section between the window and the coaxial section however this section must be checked for multipactor. Multipactor simulations of the coupler up to a few MW's of power were performed using a variety of different codes and the results were compared. Simulations were performed in the conical and straight coaxial sections.
