ACE3P is a 3D parallel finite element code suite for cavity design and optimization including electromagnetic, thermal and mechanical effects. Taking advantages of the power of computing on multi processors, ACE3P's particle tracking module Track3P allows efficient multipacting (MP) simulation by extensive scanning in field gradient and on cavity surface to identify the occurrences of MP activities. The output from Track3P simulation includes the determination of resonant trajectories and their locations, the calculation of electron impact energy on cavity surface, and the evaluation of the electron enhancement counter as a function of field gradient. The sensitivity of MP on secondary emission yield can be readily obtained through postprocessing. Examples of Track3P MP simulation for the Muon cooling cavities and APS SPX cavity will be presented.

A single-cell superconducting deflecting cavity operating at 2.815 GHz has been proposed and designed for the Short Pulse X-ray (SPX) project for the Advanced Photon Source (APS) upgrade. Each deflecting cavity is equipped with one fundamental power coupler (FPC), one lower order mode (LOM) coupler, and two higher order mode (HOM) couplers to achieve the stringent damping requirements for the unwanted modes. Using the electromagnetic simulation suite ACE3P, HOM damping will be calculated for the cavity including the full engineering design waveguide configurations and rf windows. Trapped modes in the bellows located in the beampipes connecting the cavities in a cryomodule will be computed and their effects on heating evaluated. Furthermore, multipacting activities at the end groups of the cavity will be identified to assess possible problems during high power processing.
