Abstract

Multipactor discharge on a dielectric is studied numerically and analytically for different inclination angles α of the microwave electric field with respect to the dielectric surface. The power absorbed in the discharge is calculated, and analytic estimates for the average current density of secondary electrons and the average energy of electrons bombarding the dielectric surface are obtained as functions of the angle α and the electron oscillation energy in the microwave field. It is found that the dependence of the absorbed power on the inclination angle of the external microwave field has a minimum at α ∼20°–30°.
