Simulation of nonlinear superconducting rf losses derived from characteristic topography of etched and electropolished niobium surfaces

A simplified numerical model has been developed to simulate nonlinear superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) losses on Nb surfaces. This study focuses exclusively on excessive surface resistance (R_{s}) losses due to the microscopic topographical magnetic field enhancements. When the enhanced local su...
