When electrons leave the surface they have an initial energy, typically the spectral energy distribution is peaked around 2eV and the average energy is 4-5 eV. In this MP simulation on ICHIRO cavity cell, the effects of initial kinetic energies on MP behaviors are investigated, the below plot shows the Impact energy as a function of field gradient for particles with resonant trajectories for intial kinetic energies from 2 eV to 5 eV, the impact energies range from 20 eV to 55 eV, there is a MP barrier around 23 MV/m field gradinent, based on the SEY curve provided KEK, this MP barrier is soft, which agree with RF tests, they found the some signles but can process through.
