Quench-Induced Degradation of the Quality Factor in Superconducting Resonators
Quench-Induced Degradation of the Quality Factor in Superconducting Resonators
Cryogenic superconducting niobium resonators are key to accelerators for free-electron lasers and experiments in particle and nuclear physics. A resonator's performance is often degraded by a magnetic field that is trapped in it during a quench event. Without a clear understanding of this field's origin, the problem has been addressed …
