  Multipacting is a phenomenon arising from the emission and
  subsequent multiplication of charged particles in
  accelerating radiofrequency (RF) cavities, which can limit
  the achievable RF power. Predicting field levels at which
  multipacting occurs is crucial for optimising cavity
  geometries. This paper presents a new open-source Python
  code for analysing multipacting in 2D axisymmetric cavity
  structures. The code leverages the NGSolve framework to
  solve the MEVP for the cavity's resonant modes'
  electromagnetic (EM) fields. The relativistic Lorentz
  force equation governing the motion of charged particles
  is then integrated using the fields within the cavity.
  Benchmarking against existing multipacting analysis tools
  is performed to validate the code's accuracy.
