Merged

I have carried out the merger and left a Redirect at Multipactor. Lumos3 17:09, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Resonance

A resonance is important only in two-surface multipactor, but not in single-surface multipactor. So to make this article general, I think that the resonance should not be mentioned in definition. That is why I described two kinds of multipactor in the mechanism section. --Mindgame123 20:10, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Single surface multipactor.

A single surface multipactor can occur on a metal surface when a static magnetic field is present. This article seems to imply that only a dielectric surface can sustain a multipacting event, which is simply not true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.114.26.28 (talk) 14:27, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Add image

• Information to be added or removed:

Simulation of coxial multipactor. The electron cloud moves between the inner and outer conductor in resonance, causing an electron avalanche: in 5 nanoseconds, the number of electrons increases 150×.

• Explanation: This page currently lacks an image. I created an demonstration of the multipactor effect - since I created it using software created by my employer, I figured I would play it safe and run this through the COI procedure.
• References: Not sure what to reference for an image, but here's a conference paper verifying the accuracy of CST simulations of coaxial multipactor Romanov, Gennady (2011). "Update on Multipactor in Coaxial Waveguides Using CST Particle Studio" (PDF). Proceedings of 2011 Particle Accelerator Conference.

  Edit request implemented  

I've implemented this image, but there are two citation parameters which ought to be activated.

• The |page= and |quote= parameters. Please enter the page number or |pages= for the page range that the source resides upon, as well as the verbatim text from the source which confirms the operation of the coaxial multipactor as illustrated. Most notably, the illustration in the reference shows all secondary electrons concentrated at two electric field nodes, whereas your illustration only indicates one node. Please advise.

When ready to proceed with the requested information, please alter the {{Request edit}} template's answer parameter to read from |ans=yes to |ans=no and enter the information into the reference template which you've added to this talk page. Thank you!

Hello, thanks and sorry for the late reply. For clarity this model just shows one field node (it's a standing wave, so it could have as many or as few nodes as needed). If needed, I can try to replicate the model from the paper exactly, although it might take some time. Stephen Murray at CST (talk) 08:42, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
