Superconducting radio frequency (SRF) structures may be subjected to electron multipacting (MP). This phenomenon is a problem that limits the accelerating gradient in the cavity. Moreover, it might cause an impair of RF components and distortion of the RF signal. Therefore, there should be an efficient countermeasure to suppress multipacting in order to boost the performance of SRF gun. Three techniques of suppression of the electron cloud from the vicinity of the cathode, such as DC-bias, simple geometric modification of the cathode and microstructure of the cathode's surface, in the Rossendorf SRF gun are presented in this work.
