Electron multipacting is still observed in the Rossendorf SRF gun which limits the cavity fields (accelerating gradient). To better understand this process, a three-cell 1.3 GHz elliptical-shape cavity with cathode was modeled in CST Studio Suite® 2013 at the University of Rostock. All parameters are provided by Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf. The multipacting simulations have been performed with CST Microwave Studio® (CST MWS) [1] and CST Particle Studio® (CST PS) which is suitable and powerful for 3D electromagnetic designs and provides the most advanced model of secondary emission. The radio frequency fields are calculated using the frequency domain solver of CST MWS, whereas the CST PS is used for particle tracking simulation [2]. The purpose of these numerical simulations is to better comprehend multipacting in the Rossendorf SRF gun and make a detailed analysis. The midterm goal is to find a new cavity shape, which might suppress the electron amplification so that the SRF Gun will be able to operate up to an accelerating gradient of 50 MV/m.
