Field distribution, HPM multipactor, and plasma discharge on the periodic triangular surface

The field distribution and the restraint effect of multipactor and plasma discharge on the periodic triangular surface have been theoretically and experimentally analyzed. It has been found by computational and simulative analysis that the periodic profile can quickly restrain or weaken multipactor and plasma discharge in low pressure within several microwave periods. Considering the field enhancement. increasing the slope angle, advancing, the electric field, and lowering the frequency can enhance the muhipactor suppression. X-band giga-watt high power microwave experiment with 20 is short pulse was conducted. It was demonstrated that the periodic profile can effectively improve the breakdown threshold and slower the speed of tail erosion.
