Susceptibility diagram of multipactor discharge on a dielectric-effects of an external magnetic field and oblique RF electric field

Summary form only given. Monte-Carlo simulations have recently been used to construct the susceptibility diagram of multipactor discharge on a dielectric, under the assumption that the RF electric field is parallel to the dielectric surface. This diagram, constructed from kinematic considerations, turns out to be extremely useful in the prediction of the saturation level. We generalize the susceptibility diagram in two aspects: inclusion of an external magnetic field and the effects of an oblique RF electric field. It is found that the presence of an external magnetic field does not qualitatively change the susceptibility diagram, regardless of the orientation of the magnetic field. This statement holds for all magnetic fields simulated, up to those values whose cyclotron frequency is on the order of the RF frequency.
