Description

Multipactor in very-high-frequency (VHF) continuous-wave (CW) electron guns threatens stability, with non-resonant behavior and secondary electron yield (SEY) as key factors. This study clarifies non-resonant multipactor arises from weak local electric fields and disrupted electron-field resonance. It compares SEY models and adjusts the Furman model to match practical conditions. Combined with the optimized cavity, the adjusted SEY model reduced $\alpha$ to near-zero, eliminating multipactor. Particle analysis also showed multipactor concentrates on the anode side. This work provides a comprehensive solution for VHF gun multipactor risks.
