Abstract
A computer program which simulates the multiplications of electrons in cavities using Monte Carlo techniques has been developed. This electron multiplication program has provided an understanding of the x-ray energy spectrum produced by cavities and of x-ray photographs taken of cavities at high fields. Also, this simulation has predicted two new effects: (1) an electron avalanche multiplication effect which is non-resonant in nature (as opposed to the well known resonant electron multi-pactoring), and (2) electrons produced in this way tend to form a low energy (on the order of 10 eV) electron cloud near the cavity major diameter.
