Possibility of MGB2 application to superconducting cavities

Creators

Description

A metallic superconductor, magnesium diboride (MgB2), which has a transition temperature of ∼39 K, was discovered in early 2001. Published data taken at 10 GHz demonstrate that the material has a surface resistance comparable to niobium. This paper discusses the possibility of MgB2 as compared to Nb and Nb3Sn. Also, a possible method of fabricating a MgB2 cavity using the hot isostatic press (HIP) technique is proposed.
