  IPNO has conducted an effort to develop a 3D code for modeling multipacting in RF structures. The MUSICC3D program is using particle in cell method. Based on Runge Kutta method and using relativistic equation of motion, it solves the trajectory of a particle (e-) in the RF field. The integrations over the multi differential Secondary Emission Yield (SEY) (Ein, Alphain ,Eout, Alphaout)) is made with Montecarlo method. Two running modes are available. The first one is using a model of virtual particle (i.e. the charge of a unique particle “rebounding” in the interior of the cavity is made by the product of SEYs occurring at each interaction with the walls). The other one makes generation of a full cascade of individual electrons. Benchmarking calculations have been done with analytical calculations and 2D particle in cell code (MULTIPAC). In all these cases the effects of the different inputs for the multi differential SEY have been investigated. Its intend is to give a guide to determine which precision on the SEY is needed to perform accurate multipacting calculations. Benchmarking with real cavity has been recently started and results with QWR Spiral2 cavities are presented.
