Motivation
• Maximum gradients were found to depend strongly on the magnetic field
• Consequently the efficiency of the RF cavity is reduced

Introduction and Previous Work (1)
• Dark currents electrons were observed in a multi-cell 805 MHz cavity
• They arise most likely from field enhanced regions on the cavity iris.
• Measured local field gradients where up to 10 GV/m. Such enhancement is mainly due: (i) the cavity geometry (iris), and (ii) material imperfections
• Those electron emitters are estimated to be around 1000, each with an average surface field enhancement βe=184.

Objectives of this Study
• Model the propagation of emitted electrons from field enhanced regions (asperities) through an RF cavity. In the simulation we include:– RF and externally applied magnetic fields– The field enhancement from those asperities– The self-field forces due space-charge
• Estimate the surface temperature rise after impact with the wall.
• Can we explain the dependence of the maximum gradient on the strength of the magnetic field (measured in Moretti's and Norem's experiment)?

Model Description
• Use a surface field such that to produce the observed high local gradient on Norem’s experiment
(i.e. )
• Define the geometry of the asperity such that to produce a local field enhancement consistent with that on Norem’s experiment (i.e )

• Model each individual emitter (asperity) as a prolate spheroid. Then, the field enhancement at the tip is:

• SUPERFISH/MATLAB is used to create a grid that is a superposition of the RF fields and the asperity enhanced fields and PARMELA is used for electron tracking

Current and RF Phase
• Oscillation will finally wash-out
• Particles emitted between 20-110 deg. will reach the other side of the wall
• Current will vary with phase

Energy and Power at Impact Point
• Final kinetic energies up to 1 MeV• Particles emitted between 90-95 deg. are those with the
highest impact

Dependence of Beamlet Size with Current in Asperities
• The asperity radial fields will reduce the effect of space-charge
• Therefore, less beam defocusing is expected

Dependence of Beamlet Size with Current and Field
• Higher fields reduce the final beamlet size but increase the energy density
• How much damage it creates to the cavity wall has to be estimated

Summary
• Electrons were tracked inside an 805 MHz RF cavity with external magnetic fields
• Electrons, get focused by the external magnetic field and hit the cavity wall with large energies (1MeV).
• Space-charge is deflecting the electrons leading to larger beams.
• Depending on the field the final beamlet rms size is found to be 200-700 μm.
• We found that the beamlet radial size scales as 0.38 with the current, and is independent from the external field.
