Influence of crystalline structure on rf dissipation in superconducting niobium

Bulk niobium is the most common material used in the fabrication of rf superconducting cavities for accelerators. Predicting and reducing the rf surface dissipation in these cavity structures is mandatory, since it has a tremendous cost impact on the large accelerator projects. In this paper the aut...
