Maximum allowable resistive zone in a metastable superconductor

Description

If a metastable superconductor (i.e., not cryostable) has a small resistive zone (due, e.g., to a manufacturing defect), it may quench spontaneously at high transport current. This paper answers the related questions (1) how large is the maximum allowable resistive zone and (2) what is the effect on stability of a zone smaller than the maximum allowable one
