Convective amplification of wake field due to self-modulation of a laser pulse induced by field ionization
By using a particle-in-cell simulation code which includes tunneling ionization, it is found that strong wake fields are excited and amplified due to the modulation of an intense laser pulse induced b...

Multipactor with electric field retarding secondary emission
A systematic study of the effects of emission under opposing rf electric field in multipactors is performed including external magnetic field. It is shown that the small, 1 eV or less, kinetic energy ...

This paper analyzes the frequency response of a two-surface multipactor in a rf circuit. An equation for the frequency band in which steady state multipactor can occur is derived in terms of the secondary emission properties of the surface, the quality factor Q of the rf circuit, and the operating voltage. The steady-state multipactor current is also derived, and is shown to be in excellent agreement with numerical computations that follow the temporal evolution of the multipactor discharge. ©1998 American Institute of Physics.
