Zusammenfassung:Experimental and theoretical investigations of the multipacting electrical discharge have been carried out for the purpose of extending the knowledge of the electron phase angle distributions found within the discharge. The theoretical studies included the develop ment of a high speed computer program for calculation of the electron emission phase angle distributions by a method of successive approximations. The results of those calculations are compared to those obtained by earlier investigators who used several questionable assumptions. The experimental investigations have resulted in the reporting of a new phenomenon occurring within the multipacting discharge, as well as the experimentally determined properties of that phenomenon. Some discussions of the possible origin of the phenomenon are included. (Author)
