Proximity breakdown of hydrides in superconducting niobium cavities
Many modern and proposed future particle accelerators rely on superconducting radio frequency cavities made of bulk niobium as primary particle accelerating structures.Such cavities suffer from the anomalous field dependence of their quality factors Q 0 .High field degradation -so-called 'high field Q-slope' -is yet unexplained even though an empirical cure …
