The latest results from an experimental waveguide section, as well as simulations from a model of electron multipacting using the MAGIC PIC code, are discussed. Tests were carried out on a new waveguide section that included enhanced diagnostics and the possibility of changing surface materials and temperature. Those tests evaluated grooves, ridges and surface coatings, such as TiN and a TiZrV NEG coating, as methods of multipactor suppression. The conclusion remains that the most effective method to achieve complete multipactor suppression remains the application of a static magnetic bias of approximately 10G. The experiments also provided good data sets that can be used to verify the accuracy of simulations. Simulations of the waveguide multipacting have been carried out and have offered better understanding of electronic behaviour.
