Multipacting Simulation for the Muon Collider Cooling Cavities* L Ge, Z Li, C Ng, K Ko, SLAC R.B. Palmer, BNL D Li, LBNL The muon cooling cavity for the Muon Collider operates under strong external magnetic fields. It has been observed that the external magnetic field can enhance multipacting activities and dark current heating. As part of a broad effort to optimize the external magnetic field map and cavity shape for minimal dark current and multipacting, we used SLAC Track3P to analyze mutipacting issues. Track3P is a 3D parallel finite-element tracking code which has been successfully used to predict multipacting phenomena in many accelerator components such as the ILC ICHIRO cavity. Here we present the multipacting simulation results for the 200 MHz cavity and the 805 MHz magnetic insulated cavities. Introduction Summary and Future Work 1.Track3P is a fast and efficient particle tracking tool to simulate multipacting and dark current. 2.Simulation of mulitpacting helps understand RF heating and breakdown in muon cavities. 3.Simulation has shown no multipacting activities inside the 805 MHz magnetic insulated cavity. However, potential multipacting trajectories were found in the beampipe region. 4.Further multipacting and dark current simulations will be carried out to improve cavity design and to optimize external magnetic field profile. 200 MHz Pillbox Cavity Effects of External Magnetic Field on Multipacting 2 types of resonant trajectories: One-point impacts at upper wall Two-point impacts at beampipe MP activities observed above 1.6 MV/m *Work supported by US Department of Energy under contract DE-AC02-76SF  High gradient RF cavities required in muon cooling channel  Will be operated under strong magnetic field  Multipacting activities and dark current heating are important issues in cavity design  Multipacting simulations help identify processing barriers  Track3P is used to simulate multipacting and dark current phenomena in 200 MHz and 805 MHz cavities  Multipacting and Dark Current simulation tool: Track3P  3D parallel high order finite element particle tracking code  Curved elements fitted to the curvature boundary  Trace particles in resonant modes, steady state or transient fields  Accommodate several emission models: thermal, field and secondary  Extensively benchmarked against measurements and theories w/ 2T transverse B field SEY > 1 for copper High impact energy (heating?)
